Stub resolver: A resolver that cannot perform all resolution itself.
Stub resolvers generally depend on a recursive resolver to
undertake the actual resolution function.
They literally have an animation of the client resolver making repeated requests up the tree. While saying they're making multiple requests. And calling it recursive.

That's right, it's not recursively working its way down from the root because it's a stub resolver.
