• ✓ 3 nameservers #6

  Delegated to ns-183-c.gandi.net, ns-220-a.gandi.net, ns-62-b.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): 5 addresses; AS29169 (GANDI-AS - GANDI SAS, FR): 1 address.

  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.
