We pick j.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about rim.net and learn that net is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask c.gtld-servers.net where we learn that rim.net is delegated to two name servers, including xns01lhr.rim.net (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Rim.net is a domain controlled by two domain name servers at rim.net themselves. Both are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for rim.net is handled by three mail servers also at rim.net. All three of them are on the same IP network. Rim.net has one IP number (208.65.75.21), but no corresponding reverse pointer.
