Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to freens1-g20.free.fr, freens2-g20.free.fr, freens3-scw.free.fr.
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7

  • ✓ 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 2 IPv4 /24s and 2 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS12322 (PROXAD - Free SAS, FR): 4 addresses; AS12876 (AS12876 - Scaleway SAS, FR): 2 addresses.
  • 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
  • ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13
    Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.
