DNS delegation of sohu.com updated: May 21, 2013 9:12:07 AM
sohu.com is a domain owned by Sohu Internet, a Chinese Internet company. Located in Beijing, the company was selected in 2005 to create and maintain the official Beijing Olympics 2008 website.
We pick l.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about sohu.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask m.gtld-servers.net where we learn that sohu.com is delegated to four name servers, including dns.sohu.com (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
