    Delegated to dns01.mimecast.com, dns02.mimecast.com, dns03.mimecast.com, dns04.mimecast.com.
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7

    Glue differs from the zone
    The addresses at the parent (glue) differ from the addresses in the zone: dns04.mimecast.com (glue 207.211.41.115, zone 170.10.128.103). 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 4 IPv4 /24s and 0 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 3 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS30031 (MIMECAST-US - Mimecast North America Inc, US): 1 address; AS3561 (CENTURYLINK-LEGACY-SAVVIS - CenturyLink Communications, LLC, US): 1 address; AS42427 (MIMECAST-UK - Mimecast Services Limited, GB): 2 addresses.
  • 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
  • !
    No IPv6
    None of the nameservers has an IPv6 address, so IPv6-only resolvers can't reach them.
