Is it not normal for nameservers to "talk" to each other?
Or are nameservers only supposed to "talk" to their listed forwarders? 
What about [A-M].ROOT-SERVERS.NET?
I am currently allowing all otherwise reasonable tcp connections 
with my nameserver (by IP) as the destination in and out at port 53.
Is that risky, or is that helping resolvers get my IP quicker?  
Or both?  Or neither?
