We pick k.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about yahoomail.biz and learn that biz is delegated to six name servers (2), so we ask e.gtld.biz where we learn that yahoomail.biz is delegated to five name servers, including ns4.yahoo.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Yahoomail.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 yahoomail.biz is handled by one mail server at .. We are missing the IP:s of one server: .. Yahoomail.biz has two IP numbers (68.180.206.184, 98.139.102.145). Both are on different IP networks.
The two IPv4 numbers 68.180.206.184 and 98.139.102.145 together
There are several thousand of domains that use IPv4 group 1.
Most of those use name server group 1 (example: koryahoo.com, yahooexclusive.net and yahooboy3.com ). Worth noting is that two thirds of the domains that use name server group 1 use IPv4 group 1.
