By trying to get people to use their root DNS servers by donloading the
following:

;
.			3600000		IN	NS	ns1.newdotnet.net.
ns1.newdotnet.net.	3600000		IN 	A 	206.132.100.43
;
.			3600000		IN	NS	ns2.newdotnet.net.
ns2.newdotnet.net.	3600000		IN 	A 	64.209.213.126
;
.			3600000		IN	NS	ns3.newdotnet.net.
ns3.newdotnet.net.	3600000		IN 	A 	209.151.233.13
;
; End of File

--> as their ns.hints file.

Not if the ISP you use supports them.

There's nothing special to it - any joe punter could set up 3 name servers
and run his own service.
