Checks

  • ✓ 4 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns-cloud-e1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-e2.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-e3.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-e4.googledomains.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.
  • i
    One address family in one network
    all IPv6 addresses are in 2001:4860:4802::/48, while the other address family is spread over several networks.
    #10
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS15169 (GOOGLE - Google LLC, US): 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.

    The zone is signed but the parent has no DS record, so the signatures are not used. Publish the DS record at your registrar.

  • !
    NSEC3 with extra iterations or salt
    NSEC3 uses 1 iteration and a 8-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.
