different dnsseed daemons running on different non-public IPs or two
different ports on the same IP (or on one single non-public IP since
there's really no reason to expose the dnsseed directly daemon at all).

Setting it up as a zone forwarder causes each request to go through to
the dnsseed backend for each request.

It's just as easy to steal emails via a BGP or DNS redirect anyway..
you could even take over the actual domain at the registry level by
stealing a password reset via BGP or DNS redirect and actually many
registries will hand over control of a domain by faxing them a forged
driving license in the owner's name anyway so it doesn't even really
need to be a particularly sophisticated attacker. Once you have registry
control of the domain it's easy enough to get an SSL cert too, probably
even an 'extended validation' one.
When Afghanistan was taken over the entire .af TLD was probably
transferred using a forged fax to ICANN

but I guess that's a little different :p
