If there is no such record in the local cache, the local domain name server will directly send the request to the root domain name server , and then the root domain name serverwill return to the local domain name server for the primary domain name server of the query domain (the subdomain of the root). address. 4. The local server sends a request to the domain name server returned in the previous step, and then the server that accepts the request queries its own cache. If there is no such record, it returns the address of the relevant lower-level domain name server. 5. Repeat step 4 until you find the correct record. 6. The local domain name server saves the returned results to the cache for the next use and returns the results to the client.
