DNS is both.

There are the universally accepted root servers, ICANN, national registrars, etc.

But nothing prevents you from trusting additional root servers, with TLDs if your choice, delegation of subdomains from them, etc. All the standard mechanisms will just work. Your router likely supports the .lan TLD out if the box.

DNS tne protocol supports alternate root servers.

DNS the system that we all depend on depends on the assumption that we all use the ICANN root servers.
