Why do you hope this?  This is the normal way that nameservers are 
expected to operate.

Are you concerned that this will overload the root servers?  Remember, 
you only have to query the root servers when you don't have more 
specific nameserver information cached.  So the first time you try to 
look up any .COM name, you'll cache the NS records for .COM, and won't 
have to go to the root servers again for .COM names until those NS 
records' TTLs expire (2 days).
