We pick f.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about c.tv and learn that tv is delegated to seven name servers (2), so we ask g5.nstld.com where we learn that c.tv is delegated to two name servers, including ns1.fma.net (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
C.tv is a domain controlled by two domain name servers at fma.net. Both are on different IP networks. C.tv has one IP number (50.57.34.52), but the reverse is ?.
C.tv is hosted on a server in San Antonio, TX, United States even though the hostname implies Tuvalu.
The name server ns2.fma.net
All of the more than hundred domains that use the name server ns2.fma.net use the two name servers ns1 and ns2.fma.net together, hereafter referred to as "name server group 1", (example: 1183.biz, 2694.biz and 3198.biz ).
All of the more than hundred domains that use name server group 1 point only to the IP number 50.57.34.52 (example: hgd.biz, hqy.biz and indiangame.biz ). Worth noting is that half of the host names that point only to the IP number 50.57.34.52 use name server group 1.
The two name servers ns and ns2.rackspace.com together
