gollark: So the . (root) nameservers list the nameservers for com. and net. and whatever,

gollark: Why are those the "official"/canonical ones? Because the nameserver for the parent domain says the nameserver for its subdomains.

gollark: A nameserver is basically just a server which serves the DNS protocol. This is not very descriptive, yes. But although many things work as DNS servers, nameservers (strictly authoritative nameservers, I think) are ones which serve the "official" records for one domain.

gollark: I'm not done.

gollark: DNS is a hierarchical system.
