Checks

• i

  .nl 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

  .nl is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.

  2 nameservers

  Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ns0.leaseweb.com, ns1.leaseweb.com.

  #6
• ✓ 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.
• ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11

  The nameservers are spread over: AS28753 (LEASEWEB-DE-FRA-10 - Leaseweb Deutschland GmbH, DE): 2 addresses; AS7203 (LEASEWEB-USA-SFO - Leaseweb USA, Inc., US): 2 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.

  Hidden master

  The primary nameserver ns0.leaseweb.eu 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

• ✓ 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 43281 (SHA256).
• ✓ Modern algorithms #29

  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.
