Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns1.netgate.com, ns2.netgate.com, ns3.netgate.com.
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • ✓ Glue present and correct #8
    Glue is published for the nameservers inside the zone: ns1.netgate.com, ns2.netgate.com, ns3.netgate.com.
  • ✓ 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.
  • ✓ 4 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS14618 (AMAZON-AES - Amazon.com, Inc., US): 1 address; AS16509 (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US): 1 address; AS27325 (DATABANK-ZCOLO - zColo, US): 1 address; AS30312 (NETGATE - Netgate, US): 3 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
  • ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13
    Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.
