How does the DNS server react to a request?

When searching for a specific name, the DNS server searches using all of the information available to it:

If the name is still not found after searching all of the available information, the DNS server forwards the request to a further DNS server (e.g. at the Internet provider) using the general DNS forwarding mechanism. Otherwise it will send an error message to the requesting computer.
