Checks

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

Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns1.virtualhosts.de, ns2.virtualhosts.de, ns3.virtualhosts.eu.
  • ✓ 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.
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS29141 (BKVG-AS - Bradler & Krantz GmbH & Co. KG, DE): 6 addresses). An outage or attack on that network affects all nameservers; large anycast providers mitigate this, but a secondary DNS provider adds independence.
    #11
  • ✓ Nameserver names under 2 TLDs #12
    Nameserver names use the TLDs .de, .eu.
  • ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13
    Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

Checks

  • ✓ All respond #14
    All 6 nameserver addresses answered.
  • ✓ All authoritative #15
    Every responding nameserver answers authoritatively for the zone.
  • ✓ No recursion #16
    The nameservers do not answer recursive queries for other domains.
  • ✓ No version disclosed #17
    The nameservers don't reveal their software version.
  • ✓ Zone transfers refused #18
    No nameserver allows a zone transfer to the public.
  • ✗
    No DNS over TCP
    DNS over TCP is required (RFC 7766); without it, large answers such as DNSSEC responses fail. Not answering over TCP: ns1.virtualhosts.de (2a02:e00:fff0:ba::1): dial tcp [2a02:e00:fff0:ba::1]:53: connect: connection refused; ns2.virtualhosts.de (2a02:e00:ffed:90::1): dial tcp [2a02:e00:ffed:90::1]:53: connect: connection refused; ns3.virtualhosts.eu (80.83.124.49): dial tcp 80.83.124.49:53: connect: connection refused; ns3.virtualhosts.eu (2a02:e00:ffec:d8::1): dial tcp [2a02:e00:ffec:d8::1]:53: connect: connection refused.
