print("The nameservers are:")

print("")
print("")
# If you're going to make a bunch of queries to the server, make the resolver once
# and then use it multiple times:

# Sending a query with the all flags set to 0. This is the easiest way
# to make a query with the RD flag off.
#
# This sends a query with RD=0 for the root SOA RRset to the IP address
# for l.root-servers.net.
q = dns.message.make_query(".", dns.rdatatype.SOA, flags=0)
