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

  • ✓ 6 nameservers #6
    Delegated to a1-165.akam.net, a13-64.akam.net, a14-66.akam.net, a20-67.akam.net, a28-64.akam.net, a9-64.akam.net.
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • ✓ No glue needed #8
    All nameservers are outside the zone, so no glue records are needed.
  • ✓ 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 6 IPv4 /24s and 6 IPv6 /48s.
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS21342 (AKAMAI-ASN2 - Akamai International B.V., NL): 12 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 .net
    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.

    Software version disclosed
    These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: a1-165.akam.net: "41824.9"; a1-165.akam.net: "41824.6"; a13-64.akam.net: "41824.9"; a13-64.akam.net: "41824.5"; a14-66.akam.net: "48878.29"; a14-66.akam.net: "48878.30"; a20-67.akam.net: "48878.26"; a20-67.akam.net: "48878.27"; a28-64.akam.net: "48878.32"; a28-64.akam.net: "48878.30"; a9-64.akam.net: "41824.6"; a9-64.akam.net: "41824.7".
