2 nameservers

Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ns53.be, ns53.io.

#6
✓ 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 4 IPv4 /24s and 4 IPv6 /48s.
✓ 2 autonomous systems #11

The nameservers are spread over: AS202053 (UPCLOUD - UpCloud Ltd, FI): 6 addresses; AS24940 (HETZNER-AS - Hetzner Online GmbH, DE): 2 addresses.
✓ Nameserver names under 2 TLDs #12

Nameserver names use the TLDs .be, .io.
✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13

Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

NSEC3 with extra iterations or salt

NSEC3 uses 1 iteration and a 4-byte salt. RFC 9276 recommends 0 iterations and no salt: extra iterations cost resolvers CPU and add no real protection, and some validators treat high counts as insecure.
