Considering the small number of servers and their value I'm surprised
nobody has gone for a sustained DDOS against them all at once. This could
get pretty messy if they managed it.

Obviously it's pretty hard to add additional servers but has the option of
splitting the current group into multiple distributed machines with the
same ip (like how these other DNS organisations are doing) been looked at?
