While there are some root servers that are located in various locations, they are in fact
mirrored. So that it will look
like a single IP address.
For
example,
let
say
when
try
to
contact http://soap.foobar.com. The
root
server
will
contact the .com root server, and the root server will know where the domain name that
holds
information
about
foobar.com
is.
When
it
finds
it,
it
will
ask
that
domain
name
server to ask information about soap.foobar.com.
The domain name server that holds
information about foobar.com will then return the IP address of soap.foobar.com.
