With QNAME minimalisation, RFC7129 (Authenticated denial of existence) and RFC8020 (NXDOMAIN: There really is nothing underneath), you should be sending almost nothing to the root servers of use.

QNAME minimalisation will only send <randomstring>.com to the root for them to give you the referral.

and RFC7129/RFC8020 mean that when you get a NXDOMAIN back from the root, you'll cache it and never try again for a large swath of possible names.
