Let me guess:

        forwarders {
                209.165.131.12;
                209.165.131.13;
                };

Am I right?

Try:

        forwarders {
                208.138.130.16;
                206.96.62.16;
                };

And the root servers will go away. I don't know why they're doing that - IMHO you should not get a response from the root servers when doing a host lookup. Perhaps GCI isn't done configuring the new DNS servers yet?

Cheers,

James
