Some more high volume servers which only use IP ID 0 as seen from here:

192.33.14.30	b.gtld-servers.net
192.43.172.30	i.gtld-servers.net
204.74.66.132	ns1.facebook.com
195.166.81.54	de1.sophosxl.com
195.166.81.55	de2.sophosxl.com
150.70.147.168	ns2.hashserver.cs.trendmicro.com
195.41.131.110	d.ns.spamhaus.org

Doing a "tcpdump 'ip[4:2]==0'" on a busy recursive name server can be an
enlightening experience.
