We pick j.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about bol.gov.la and learn that la is delegated to eight name servers (2), so we ask ns2.nic.la where we learn that gov.la is delegated to two name servers, including ns2.gov.la (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Bol.gov.la is a domain controlled by two domain name servers at gov.la. Both are on the same IP network. Incoming mail for bol.gov.la is handled by one mail server also at gov.la.
