We pick m.root-servers.net, one of the 13 root servers (1), and ask it about microsoft.co.jp and learn that jp is delegated to seven name servers (2), so we ask f.dns.jp where we learn that microsoft.co.jp is delegated to three name servers, including dns3.jp.msft.net (3), so we ask that one and get the following answer:
Microsoft.co.jp is a domain controlled by five domain name servers at msft.net having a total of ten IP numbers. Some of them are on the same IP network. Microsoft.co.jp has two IP numbers (65.55.58.201, 64.4.11.37). Both are on different IP networks.
Microsoft.co.jp is ranked #18814203 world wide and is hosted on two servers in Redmond, WA, United States even though the hostname implies Japan. It has 117 inlinks.

The two IP numbers 64.4.11.37 and 65.55.58.201 together
