Note that running your own caching name servers may not help if your

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?
