  Isn’t it a global effort? According to what I see, they list a bunch of servers in all Europe, USA, Canada, Australia …Japan?

    Of the tier 1 servers, 2 are in DE and 2 are in USA.

    You won’t really hit tier2 unless you’re trying to hit very specific records.

      I don’t think you’re supposed to query Tier 1 servers as a client. I keep forgetting how DNS and recursive lookup works, but the Tier 2 servers would be what people connect to and who do the heavy lifting. The Tier 1 do the root, authoritative stuff and their custom TLDs.
