We pick f.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about rocketmail.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask a.gtld-servers.net where we learn that rocketmail.com is delegated to five name servers, including ns1.yahoo.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Rocketmail.com is a domain controlled by five domain name servers at yahoo.com. All five of them are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for rocketmail.com is handled by three mail servers at yahoodns.net having a total of 16 IP numbers. There are 32 duplicated IP numbers. Some of them are on the same IP network. Rocketmail.com has two IP numbers (68.180.206.184, 98.139.102.145). Both are on different IP networks.
