Each zone is served by at least one authoritative name server, which contains the complete data for the zone. When a registrar registers a domain, the domain is delegated to authoritative name servers. The authoritative name server will consist of a zone file for the delegated domain.

The Hosts database contains the authoritative name servers for the domains in the root zone files. The domain will be delegated via NS resource records viewable in the Domain Tab.
