Time is not the issue. Ralf seemed to be suggesting that lazy validation is OK, where you simply slave the root zone locally and point a normal validating resolver at it. If you do that then you don't have a sensible way to recover from a corrupt transfer, because you will only discover it is bust when you are processing a query and that's a bad time to try re-doing the transfer. Maybe it would be OK if the resolver was configured to use the real root servers as a fallback in case the local copy gets corrupted.
