Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns1.dutchnews.nl, ns2.dutchnews.nl, ns3.dutchnews.nl.
  • ✓ 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: ns1.dutchnews.nl, ns2.dutchnews.nl, ns3.dutchnews.nl.
  • ✓ 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 3 IPv4 /24s and 3 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS14061 (DIGITALOCEAN-ASN - DigitalOcean, LLC, US): 2 addresses; AS21221 (InfoPact-AS - Infopact Netwerkdiensten B.V., NL): 4 addresses.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .nl
    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.

Checks

  • !
    Very low TTLs
    These records have a TTL below 5m, causing extra queries and slower lookups: MX (1m). Low TTLs are useful just before a planned change.
    #32
  • ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33
    The zone apex has no CNAME record.
  • i
    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.
    #34
  • i
    No CAA records
    Without CAA records any certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain. A CAA record limits issuance to the CAs you use.
