Checks

  • i
    .de 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
    .de is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
  • i
    Registration data not available
    No registration data via RDAP: the registry of .de offers no RDAP service. Many ccTLD registries don't offer RDAP; check the registry's WHOIS instead.

Checks

  • ✓ 4 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns1.fraunhofer.de, ns2.fraunhofer.de, ns3.fraunhofer.de, ns5.fraunhofer.de.
  • ✓ 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.fraunhofer.de, ns2.fraunhofer.de, ns3.fraunhofer.de, ns5.fraunhofer.de.
  • ✓ 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 4 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS5501 (Fraunhofer-Cluster-BW - Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V., DE): 2 addresses; AS680 (DFN - Verein zur Foerderung eines Deutschen Forschungsnetzes e.V., DE): 6 addresses.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .de
    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

  • ✓ TTLs within range #32

  • ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33
    The zone apex has no CNAME record.
  • ✓ No wildcard #34
    Names that don't exist return NXDOMAIN.
  • 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.
