• ✓ 3 nameservers #6

  Delegated to ns-120-b.gandi.net, ns-164-c.gandi.net, ns-39-a.gandi.net.
• ✓ 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 3 IPv4 /24s and 3 IPv6 /48s.
• ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11

  The nameservers are spread over: AS209453 (GANDI-LIVEDNS - GANDI SAS, FR): 4 addresses; AS29169 (GANDI-AS - GANDI SAS, FR): 2 addresses.

  All nameserver names under .net

  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.

  Hidden master

  The primary nameserver ns1.gandi.net is not listed as a nameserver: a hidden master that only feeds the public secondaries. That is a common setup; make sure it is not reachable for zone transfers from outside.

Checks

• ✓ TTLs within range #32

  TTLs: A 3h, MX 10m, NS 3h. The NS TTL at the parent is 1h and in the zone 3h; resolvers may use either.
• ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33

  The zone apex has no CNAME record.
• i

  Wildcard record

  A random name under the zone resolves, so there is a wildcard (*) record. Typos and non-existent hosts resolve too, which can confuse mail and certificate checks.

  No CAA records

  Without CAA records any certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain. A CAA record limits issuance to the CAs you use.
