We investigated that situation on request and found some F-root
instances were receiving very high volume of queries for invalid TLD.

That's true, is want we can answer with the data available. However, the
data sample is not small: 61 root instances, 24 hours of data.

For that study we use the following data:
24 hour traces collected between 01-09-2007 12:00 and 01-10-2007 12:00,
on 61 root server anycast nodes
C-root, all 4 instances
F-root, 36 out of 40
K-root, 15 out of 17
M-root, all 6 instances
So the data seems to be useful (but not complete). Once we got all the
data for DITL 2008 we could try to run the same test and look for
trends.
