I have't touched NDS recently but when I last looked root *is* root. That
is, except that NDS is partitioned so if you imagine that sections of the
tree are sliced into chunks then you end up with a root partition. Also,
the partitions are replicated to other servers (not *all* servers, just as
needed. this is where a NDS architect is needed) and each replica ring has
a master partition. If the master dies then a secondary partition can be
promoted to master.

All of that exists at a meta layer just above the NDS heirarchical
structure.
