    2 nameservers
    Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ns1.web.infochange.com, ns2.web.infochange.com.
    #6
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • !
    Glue differs from the zone
    The addresses at the parent (glue) differ from the addresses in the zone: ns2.web.infochange.com (glue 174.143.150.29, zone 174.143.150.29, 2001:470:1f0f:74c::1). 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 2 IPv4 /24s and 1 IPv6 /48.
  • ✓ 3 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS15041 (ETRN-MKC - ETRN.com, Inc., US): 1 address; AS33070 (RMH-14 - Rackspace Hosting, US): 1 address; AS6939 (HURRICANE - Hurricane Electric LLC, US): 1 address.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .com
    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.web.infochange.com.
