Checks

• i

  .fr is a country-code TLD (ccTLD)

  Country-code TLD: governed by its local registry under national policy, not by an ICANN contract. Registrar accreditation, dispute resolution and RDAP/WHOIS rules are set by the registry.

  #1
• ✓ TLD delegated and signed #2

  .fr is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
• ✓ Expires on 2026-11-21 #3

  The registration is valid until 2026-11-21 (30 days).
• i

  No transfer lock

  The domain has no transfer lock (status: active). A registrar lock protects against unauthorized transfers.

  #4
• ✓ Registry and delegation match #5

  The nameservers registered at the registry are the ones published in DNS.

Checks

• ✓ 4 nameservers #6

  Delegated to ns1.ovea.com, ns2.ovea.com, ns3.ovea.com, ns4.ovea.com.
• ✓ 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 2 IPv4 /24s and 2 IPv6 /48s.
• i

  All nameservers in one AS

  All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS29608 (WAN2MANY-AS - Ovea SAS, FR): 8 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 .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
• ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13

  Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

8 of 8 addresses answer authoritatively

• ✓ All authoritative #15

• ✓ No recursion #16

  The nameservers do not answer recursive queries for other domains.
• i

  Identifying string disclosed

  These nameservers answer version queries with a string that is not a version number: ns4.ovea.com: "anonymouse".

  #17
• ✓ Zone transfers refused #18

  No nameserver allows a zone transfer to the public.
• ✓ TCP supported #19

  All nameservers answer over TCP.
• ✓ EDNS supported #20

  All nameservers support EDNS(0).
• ✓ Public addresses #21

  All nameserver addresses are publicly routable.

DNSKEY in the zone

Checks

• ✓ Signed and validated #27

  The zone is signed, the parent publishes a DS record, and the resolver validates the answers.
• ✓ DS matches a key #28

  The DS record at the parent matches a key in the zone: key tag 47698 (SHA1), key tag 47698 (SHA256), key tag 47698 (SHA384).
• ✓ Modern algorithms #29

  Key algorithms: ECDSAP256SHA256 (13).

  The earliest DNSKEY/SOA signature expires at 2026-11-05 00:00 UTC.
• i

  NSEC

  The zone uses NSEC, so its full contents can be listed by walking the NSEC chain. That is fine unless the names are sensitive.

Checks

• ✓ TTLs within range #32

• ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33

  The zone apex has no CNAME record.
• ✓ No wildcard #34

  Names that don't exist return NXDOMAIN.
