Then how are the servers finding the a.com servers in the first place?  If
they can get there, then the a.com servers will refer them to the x.a.com
and y.a.com servers.  As I said, you only go to the root if you don't have
any of the ancestor domain NS records in your cache; you start by looking
for the most specific NS record that matches what you're trying to look up,
and then working your way down from there.

"ndc dumpdb" will dump the entire memory of named into a text file.
