We pick j.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about hotmail.fr and learn that fr is delegated to five name servers (2), so we ask d.ext.nic.fr where we learn that hotmail.fr is delegated to three name servers, including ns1.msft.net (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
