I suggest a rotation like so:

	Jan-Apr: 69.w.w.0
	Apr-Jul: 69.x.x.255
	Jul-Oct: 70.y.y.0
	Oct-Jan: 70.z.z.255

where the middle two octets are predetermined ahead of time.

IIRC, some RFC recommends updating the root zone cache monthly...
following this would ensure one had proper root/gTLD addresses.

The above also would break DNS for broken networks for a two
month stretch... long enough to flush out bad rules.
