The root servers are non-caching servers, so anything they have should come
from the WHOIS database.  If they have a wrong A record, you must have the
host registered in WHOIS.

where <name> is the fully-qualified name that you're trying to look up, and
<server> is the server name in the delegation (start with
a.root-servers.net).  If it returns the A record, you've completed the
process; if it returns a bunch of NS records, query them similarly.
