We pick i.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about yahoo.biz and learn that biz is delegated to six name servers (2), so we ask k.gtld.biz where we learn that yahoo.biz is delegated to five name servers, including ns3.yahoo.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Yahoo.biz is a domain controlled by five domain name servers at yahoo.com. All five of them are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for yahoo.biz is handled by one mail server at .. We are missing the IP:s of one server: .. Yahoo.biz has two IP numbers (68.180.206.184, 98.139.102.145). Both are on different IP networks.
