Checks

  • i
    .be 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
    .be is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
  • i
    Registration data not available
    No registration data via RDAP: the registry of .be offers no RDAP service. Many ccTLD registries don't offer RDAP; check the registry's WHOIS instead.

Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns.cipal.be, ns.provant.be, ns2.cipal.be.
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • !
    Glue differs from the zone
    The addresses at the parent (glue) differ from the addresses in the zone: ns.provant.be (glue 193.190.154.28, zone 193.53.113.44). 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 2 IPv4 /24s and 0 IPv6 /48s.
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS2611 (BELNET - BELNET, BE): 3 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 .be
    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.
    #13

Checks

  • ✓ TTLs within range #32
    TTLs: A 5m, MX 1h, NS 5m. The NS TTL at the parent is 1d and in the zone 5m; 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.
    #34
  • i
    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.
