The caching name servers (on LAN) contact the root servers and the SOA 
of the queried domains directly don't they?

I did not quite follow what you mean by "de-randomising DNS lookup 
requests."   Are you saying these NAT devices are aware of the root 
servers and redirect the query packets to the DNS servers configured 
into instead?
