We pick d.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about ns2.sohosted.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask f.gtld-servers.net where we learn that sohosted.com is delegated to two name servers, including ns3.sohosted.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
All of the three domains that only use the IPv4 number 195.8.208.29 are under the tld "com".
The primary name server ns1.sohosted.com only
All of the about seventy domains that use the primary name server ns1.sohosted.com use name server group 1 (example: dso.sohosted.com, trol.be and double-up.nl ). Worth noting is that half of the domains that use name server group 1 use the primary name server ns1.sohosted.com.
The two name servers ns1 and ns2.sohosted.com together
There are more than hundred domains that use name server group 1.
