This only occurs if the person(s) registering a OpenNIC DNS name
chooses to host there own zone. In OpenNIC, most TLD zone files are
hosted on the T1 server. This is due to lack of resources.

My current T1 has over 1600 DNS zones being hosted with my T2 being a
secondary DNS server to these domains.

Using galiumfred (the one I tweaked), it can handle multiple DNS
servers, with the TLD root only living on the T1.

If TLD admins have the resources, this is the suitable approach.
Beggers can't be choosers.
