We pick k.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about earthviewers.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask k.gtld-servers.net where we learn that earthviewers.com is delegated to two name servers, including ns1.hitfarm.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
The two IP numbers 54.243.105.88 and 75.101.142.70 together
Two thirds of the several thousand of host names that point to IP group 1 use the two name servers ns1 and ns2.hitfarm.com together (but not ns3.hitfarm.com ), hereafter referred to as "name server group 2", (example: nm8nm8.com, satmetric.com and stuntsae.com ). Worth noting is that six percent of the domains that use name server group 2 point to IP group 1.
