Wonder if query/response transactions between resolvers and
nameservers would qualify?  According to a recent report published in
Cisco's IP Journal
(http://www.pch.net/resources/papers/infrastructure-distribution/),
several root nameservers based in US (and outside US) provide
resolution for the .SD tld.  E.g.,

TLD: SD

Locations:
HK
IN
LU
NL
SD
UK
UsCA
UsFL
UsIL
UsTX
UsVA
ZA


It appears that Neustar (UltraDNS) is one US based company providing
this service. See
