Checks

  • ✓ 4 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns1.google.com, ns2.google.com, ns3.google.com, ns4.google.com.
  • ✓ 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.
  • i
    One address family in one network
    all IPv6 addresses are in 2001:4860:4802::/48, while the other address family is spread over several networks.
    #10
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS15169 (GOOGLE - Google LLC, US): 8 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 .com
    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.

    refresh 15m is outside 20m–1d; retry 15m should be shorter than refresh 15m; expire 30m is shorter than 7d; secondaries stop answering too soon when the primary is down; expire 30m must be longer than refresh + retry; negative caching TTL (minimum) 1m is outside 5m–1d (RFC 2308 recommends 1–3 hours). Current values: refresh 15m, retry 15m, expire 30m, negative TTL 1m.

Checks

  • ✓ TTLs within range #32
    TTLs: A 5m, AAAA 5m, NS 4d. The NS TTL at the parent is 2d and in the zone 4d; resolvers may use either.
  • ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33
    The zone apex has no CNAME record.

    Wildcard record
    A random name under the zone resolves, so there is a wildcard (*) record. Typos and non-existent hosts resolve too, which can confuse mail and certificate checks.
