We pick i.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about co.net and learn that net is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask m.gtld-servers.net where we learn that co.net is delegated to two name servers, including ns2.smig.net (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Co.net is a domain controlled by two domain name servers at smig.net and co.net. Both are on the same IP network. Co.net has one IP number (216.188.208.222), which also has a corresponding reverse pointer.
