I have a suspicion that is a little more than vague that the root
cause to this problem is probably misconfiguration of the DNS, in
particular inconsistencies at zone cuts / delegation points and the
resulting lame delegations.

Since this is perhaps primarily a "people problem" at this point,
throwing more hardware or bandwidth at it isn't going to make it go
away.

As one of my friends say in one of his plays with words: what the
DNS needs the most is more CLUE records...
