We pick j.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about facebook.co.jp and learn that jp is delegated to seven name servers (2), so we ask a.dns.jp where we learn that facebook.co.jp is delegated to two name servers, including b.ns.facebook.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Most of the about ninety host names that point only to the IP number 173.252.110.27 use the two name servers a and b.ns.facebook.com together, hereafter referred to as "name server group 1", (example: oglint.net, facebook-domain-names.com and facebook.cl ). Worth noting is that a third of the domains that use name server group 1 point only to the IP number 173.252.110.27.
