We pick j.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about www.answers.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask l.gtld-servers.net where we learn that answers.com is delegated to four name servers, including ns1.p30.dynect.net (3), so we ask that one where we see a CNAME from www.answers.com to www.glb.answers.com, so we have to start all over again. We already know that ns2.p30.dynect.net is authoritative for answers.com (4) and ask it about www.glb.answers.com and learn that glb.answers.com is delegated to two name servers (5), so we ask resx01.ut1.answers.com and get the following answer:
