We pick c.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about ebi.to and learn that to is delegated to five name servers (2), so we ask colo.to where we learn that ebi.to is delegated to two name servers, including ns1.sakura.ne.jp (3), so we ask that one where we see a CNAME from ebi.to to ns1.sakura.ne.jp, so we have to start all over again. We pick i.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (4), and ask it about ns1.sakura.ne.jp and learn that jp is delegated to seven name servers (5), so we ask g.dns.jp where we learn that sakura.ne.jp is delegated to two name servers, including ns2.dns.ne.jp (6), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Ebi.to is a domain controlled by two domain name servers at dns.ne.jp. Both are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for ebi.to is handled by one mail server at ebi.to themselves. Ebi.to has one IP number (210.188.227.243), but the reverse is www66.dns.ne.jp.
