JF> "root servers for .biz"....??...do you mean .BIZ TLD servers ?

JF> Are you familiar with the DNS and how it works ?

Yes I am.  Every TLD has a series of root nameservers.  These root
nameservers maintain the database of domains within that TLD.  In
addition, there are the root nameservers used by recursive nameservers
to find information about various TLDs.

The root nameservers for the .BIZ TLD supported by ICANN are:

A.GTLD.biz.             315874  IN      A       209.173.53.162
B.GTLD.biz.             466355  IN      A       209.173.57.162
C.GTLD.biz.             460739  IN      A       209.173.60.65
D.GTLD.biz.             471986  IN      A       213.86.51.129
E.GTLD.biz.             476147  IN      A       209.173.58.65
F.GTLD.biz.             464256  IN      A       209.173.58.66

Not sure what this has to do with the conversation.  However, I would
suggest that your logic is flawed.  The vast majority of companies do
not feel the need to register domains within multiple roots.  However,
feel free to point me to credible evidence which backs up your
assertion.
