Who's up for creating a network of new gTLD servers? I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to reconstruct 90% of the com/net zones from publicly available data (http://www.deleteddomains.com/newlist.shtml?cid=11673-11084 would be a good start). Constantly farming for missed zones, and maybe even querying the "real" servers for missing data. The updates would be a day or two behind the "real" zones, but once you got a good number of eyeballs looking to your servers instead of VeriSign's, you could probably convince quite a few registrars to start sending you updates too.
You can download the real zones if you want easily enough. Some years ago all this took was sending a few faxes. -- http://www.PowerDNS.com Open source, database driven DNS Software http://lartc.org Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO
