Do you honestly believe that the root servers get the same number of cache hits per day for (say) .re as they do for .com? You are somehow trying to argue that .bar will raise to the same size as .foo but that the overall number of queries will be static. With that restriction, .foo and .bar can only reach parity if half of the delegations migrate into .bar from .foo, or from some other zone(s). Once those zones shrink, they will get less queries (cf, .re). The only way out of the hole you have dug for yourself is to increase the overall number of queries. -- Eric A.
