We pick g.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about spankwird.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask b.gtld-servers.net where we learn that spankwird.com is delegated to five name servers, including dns2.name-services.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Spankwird.com is a domain controlled by five domain name servers at name-services.com. All five of them are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for spankwird.com is handled by one mail server at ctmail.com having a total of four IP numbers. All four of them are on different IP networks. Spankwird.com has one IP number (64.74.223.40), but the reverse is ?.
