Er, no... that isn't the way NS records are used. Recursors looking up
your NS records do not "know" that you went to Dotster or whatever and
entered  ns1  before  ns2.  The NS records handed out by the roots are
used  by  recursors  in  what  can be called a random order (the order
actually  has  to  do with response time as well, but assuming for the
moment unsaturated bandwidth and identical hardware at both sites, you
can call it random).


Maybe I'm missing something, but if you query one of the root servers for a domain's NS servers, they are always returned in the order that they are listed in your domain name registration. On the other hand, if you query your own DNS server and have it set for round robin, it does rotate them, but that doesn't matter here.

Try querying some domains names against a server like h.gtld-servers.net see what I mean.
