Well it's certainly hostile to the authoritative name servers, since they will
be getting a *very* high level of referred queries, however those are the
machines in charge of the TTL, so that's the place to make a change if it
causes them any problems.
I can't see why it would upset any other DNS servers - they'll just do what
they're told....
