How does the central resistry know where my nameserver is?
   
So there is this central registry, which if I understand correctly knows
only the name server for a particular domain. But how does the
central registry know what the IP address is of that name server?
And if it gets the name server IP address from another name server then
where does it get -that- name servers IP address?
