Checks

• i

  .nl is a country-code TLD (ccTLD)

  Country-code TLD: governed by its local registry under national policy, not by an ICANN contract. Registrar accreditation, dispute resolution and RDAP/WHOIS rules are set by the registry.

  #1
• ✓ TLD delegated and signed #2

  .nl is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
• i

  Expiry date not published

  The registry does not publish the expiry date in RDAP. Check it with your registrar.

  #3
• i

  No transfer lock

  The domain has no transfer lock (status: active). A registrar lock protects against unauthorized transfers.

  #4
• ✓ Registry and delegation match #5

  The nameservers registered at the registry are the ones published in DNS.

  2 nameservers

  Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ns1.premium-dns.net, ns2.premium-dns.net.

  #6
• ✓ Parent and zone agree #7

  The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
• ✓ No glue needed #8

  All nameservers are outside the zone, so no glue records are needed.
• ✓ All names resolve #9

  Every nameserver name has an address and is not an alias.
• ✓ Nameservers in different networks #10

  The nameservers are spread over 2 IPv4 /24s and 2 IPv6 /48s.
• i

  All nameservers in one AS

  All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS1921 (RCODEZERO-ANYCAST-SEC1-TLD - ipcom GmbH, AT): 4 addresses). An outage or attack on that network affects all nameservers; large anycast providers mitigate this, but a secondary DNS provider adds independence.

  #11
• i

  All nameserver names under .net

  All nameserver names are under one TLD, so a problem with that TLD also makes the nameservers unreachable. Some operators use names under two TLDs for extra resilience.

  #12
• ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13

  Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

4 of 4 addresses answer authoritatively

Found

Checks

• ✓ All respond #14

  All 4 nameserver addresses answered.
• ✓ All authoritative #15

  Every responding nameserver answers authoritatively for the zone.
• ✓ No recursion #16

  The nameservers do not answer recursive queries for other domains.
• i

  Identifying string disclosed

  These nameservers answer version queries with a string that is not a version number: ns1.premium-dns.net: "RcodeZero DNS"; ns2.premium-dns.net: "reg-wie1".

  #17
• ✓ Zone transfers refused #18

  No nameserver allows a zone transfer to the public.
• ✓ TCP supported #19

  All nameservers answer over TCP.
• ✓ EDNS supported #20

  All nameservers support EDNS(0).
• ✓ Public addresses #21

  All nameserver addresses are publicly routable.

Checks

• ✓ Signed and validated #27

  The zone is signed, the parent publishes a DS record, and the resolver validates the answers.
• ✓ DS matches a key #28

  The DS record at the parent matches a key in the zone: key tag 49384 (SHA256).
• ✓ Modern algorithms #29

  Key algorithms: ECDSAP256SHA256 (13).
• ✓ Signatures valid until 2026-10-29 #30

  The earliest DNSKEY/SOA signature expires at 2026-10-29 00:00 UTC.
• i

  NSEC

  The zone uses NSEC, so its full contents can be listed by walking the NSEC chain. That is fine unless the names are sensitive.
