Generally you mean the appropiate TLD servers as most newly registered
domains don't go into the root servers.

Actually, I believe that they do but all that they do is provide a pointer to the appropriate name server for the domain. Perhaps that's what you meant but it didn't sound like it.
listed in the whois lookup. There is a time-to-live associated with the addresses, so existing names may linger with the wrong addresses, though.

And some ISPs have been known to fudge these to be longer than what they
are to cut down on queries. This breaks things like djbdns' feature of
having the ttl count down as a cutover time is approached.

Indeed they do and it's tacky but what can you do?
