Name Resolving Question.

[encrypted at my-deja.com]

I have a basic understanding on how a name gets translated to IP.  My
question has to do with root-servers.  I know if I do the following in
nslookup :

> set q=ns
> com

I will get the list of root-servers for the .com tld.  Basically does
this come from my root.hints file or from one of the root-servers from
my root.hints?  Where would it get the root-servers for say a .cx tld
or .am tld?  Do these come from *.root-servers.net as well?

thanks,

Aaron
