Checks

  • i
    .fr 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
    .fr is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
  • ✓ Expires on 2026-12-31 #3
    The registration is valid until 2026-12-31 (70 days).
  • 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.

Checks

  • i
    2 nameservers
    Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ariane.bnf.fr, galatee.bnf.fr.
    #6
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • ✓ Glue present and correct #8
    Glue is published for the nameservers inside the zone: ariane.bnf.fr, galatee.bnf.fr.
  • i
    Could not be checked
    Resolving these nameserver names failed: galatee.bnf.fr (DNS query for galatee.bnf.fr failed: read udp 46.225.38.91:60545->8.8.8.8:53: i/o timeout).
    #9
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS2200 (FR-RENATER - Renater, FR): 1 address). 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 .fr
    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
  • i
    Partly IPv6
    These nameservers have no IPv6 address: ariane.bnf.fr.

Checks

  • ✓ All respond #14
    All 1 nameserver address 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.
  • ✓ No version disclosed #17
    The nameservers don't reveal their software version.
  • ✓ Zone transfers refused #18
    No nameserver allows a zone transfer to the public.
  • ✗
    No DNS over TCP
    DNS over TCP is required (RFC 7766); without it, large answers such as DNSSEC responses fail. Not answering over TCP: ariane.bnf.fr (193.50.133.237): dial tcp 193.50.133.237:53: i/o timeout.
    #19
  • ✓ EDNS supported #20
    All nameservers support EDNS(0).
  • ✓ Public addresses #21
    All nameserver addresses are publicly routable.

Checks

  • ✗
    DNSSEC validation fails
    Validating resolvers return SERVFAIL for this zone, so the domain is unreachable for a large part of the internet. Check the DS record at the registrar against the zone's keys and the signatures.
