Slave zones contain the full record of domain names for each OpenNIC TLD. When a query is made for an OpenNIC domain, you have the exact information needed to proceed directly to that domain, thus eliminating several hops in processing a query. Note that the only difference between a Tier 1 and Tier 2 server is that Tier 1 servers do not process public queries for ICANN domains - they ONLY process OpenNIC TLD requests. | Slave zones contain the full record of domain names for each OpenNIC TLD.
