    Root DNS Server to address:80 and does a GET /…
    … And the server returns
    (one of 16 from
    root.hints) the Web page response

    Example database prior to delegation:

    www.domain.com. IN A 200.10.10.10
    www.domain.com. IN A 150.10.10.10

    Example database after delegation:

    wip.domain.com. IN NS gtm1.wip.domain.com.
    wip.domain.com. IN NS gtm2.wip.domain.com.
    gtm1.wip.domain.com. IN A 200.10.10.53
