We pick d.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about geocities.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask e.gtld-servers.net where we learn that geocities.com is delegated to five name servers, including ns1.yahoo.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Geocities.com is a domain controlled by five domain name servers at yahoo.com. All five of them are on different IP networks.
