There are two servers that provide f.root-servers.net service; each
has the f.root-servers.net address configured as an alias on the
loopback interface. The servers and the two upstream routers run OSPF;
the servers each inject f.root-servers.net/32 into OSPF, and the
routers see two "offers" of f.root-servers.net/32 with equal cost. 
The routers do CEF per-destination load-splitting, which winds up
splitting the load roughly 60/40 between the two servers.
