i don't think that assertion is a certainty. depending on the attack model being considered, 
fewer root name server names each having more addresses, or fewer names having only a 
single v4 and/or v6 address per name, but with large scale anycast, or even hierarchical 
(AS112-style) anycast might be better. so it depends on what you mean by "more".

as stephane already knows, this is one of the questions Yeti-DNS will be used to research.

for everyone else, see http://yeti-dns.org/ and consider participating either as an ADNS 
or RDNS (or both!) server operator in this testbed.
