We pick i.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about sprottshaw.com and learn that com is delegated to 13 name servers (2), so we ask f.gtld-servers.net where we learn that sprottshaw.com is delegated to two name servers, including dns2.radiant.net (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Sprottshaw.com is a domain controlled by two domain name servers at radiant.net. Both are on the same IP network. Incoming mail for sprottshaw.com is handled by four mail servers at psmtp.com. All four of them are on the same IP network. Sprottshaw.com has one IP number (205.186.146.60), which also has a corresponding reverse pointer.
