It sounds like a bad configuration for RRL at f-root, given the replies below 
that they are unique queries (which would make sense from a caching resolver). 
If it is that easy to make a bad RRL configuration by (highly) experienced 
operators, it suggests that the configuration names and documentation are 
inadequate. Please strongly consider having ISC-f talk to ISC-BIND about the 
admin interface for RRL, including possible warnings for clearly bad 
configurations.
