  • i
    .fr is a country-code TLD (ccTLD)

    #1
  • ✓ TLD delegated and signed #2
    .fr is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
  • ✗

    2 nameservers
    Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ns1.encyclopedisque.fr, ns2.encyclopedisque.fr.

    NS sets differ
    The nameservers at the parent and in the zone should be the same. Only in the zone: dns13.ovh.net, ns13.ovh.net. dns13.ovh.net, ns13.ovh.net report NS dns13.ovh.net ns13.ovh.net. ns1.encyclopedisque.fr report NS dns13.ovh.net ns1.encyclopedisque.fr ns13.ovh.net ns2.encyclopedisque.fr.

    Glue differs from the zone
    The addresses at the parent (glue) differ from the addresses in the zone: ns2.encyclopedisque.fr (glue 137.74.117.147, zone 37.59.49.167). Update the glue at your registrar.
    #8
  • ✓ 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 4 IPv4 /24s and 2 IPv6 /48s.
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS16276 (OVH - OVH SAS, FR): 6 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 .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: ns1.encyclopedisque.fr, ns2.encyclopedisque.fr.
