just like DNS, the 'root servers' would still see the high request hits, prior to passing off to local caching app.

and *someone* must have this expense/headache to maintain them.

No, the root servers wouldn't.  Please take a few moments to learn how
the domain name system works prior to spreading fear, uncertainty, and
doubt.

Any decent DNS server is extremely good at caching lookup responses, and
as such, once it looks up the NS records for a domain, the roots and
parents will not see a significant increase in requests.

gee joe, what part of 'prior to passing off to local caching app', and millions of requests didn't you get? (also note, i understood they were wanting to build a new system, not use dns, as it was *only* the example)

everytime you make a dns request, i agreed that it does not hit the root servers, but every time you request a NON-cached one you DO.

so maybe your call center calls the same people every other day. ours do not, and i'm just guessing here, but i have to think that others here don't call the same people over and over and over millions of times within minutes/hours/days.
yeah, you are right, i have no clue what i am talking about.

don't you just hate when someone puts and apple in with the oranges, especially a rotten one. <G>
