Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to ns1.sidn.nl, ns2.sidn.nl, ns3.sidn.nl.
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • ✓ Glue present and correct #8
    Glue is published for the nameservers inside the zone: ns1.sidn.nl, ns2.sidn.nl, ns3.sidn.nl.
  • ✓ 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: AS1921 (RCODEZERO-ANYCAST-SEC1-TLD - ipcom GmbH, AT): 4 addresses; AS48283 (SIDN-ANYCAST - Stichting Internet Domeinregistratie Nederland, NL): 2 addresses.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .nl
    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.
