    2 nameservers
    Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ns8.san.yahoo.com, ns9.san.yahoo.com.

  • !
    NS sets differ
    The nameservers at the parent and in the zone should be the same. Only at the parent: ns8.san.yahoo.com, ns9.san.yahoo.com; only in the zone: ns1.turbify.com, ns2.turbify.com. ns1.turbify.com, ns2.turbify.com, ns8.san.yahoo.com, ns9.san.yahoo.com report NS ns1.turbify.com ns2.turbify.com.
    #7
  • ✓ 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 6 IPv4 /24s and 0 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 3 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS14618 (AMAZON-AES - Amazon.com, Inc., US): 2 addresses; AS16509 (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US): 2 addresses; AS8075 (MICROSOFT-CORP-MSN-AS-BLOCK - Microsoft Corporation, 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
  • !
    No IPv6
    None of the nameservers has an IPv6 address, so IPv6-only resolvers can't reach them.

    Software version disclosed
    These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: ns8.san.yahoo.com: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 5.1.4 (built Aug 10 2026 13:38:30 by root@bh-centos-8.dev.cpanel.net)"; ns9.san.yahoo.com: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 5.1.4 (built Aug 10 2026 13:38:30 by root@bh-centos-8.dev.cpanel.net)".

    Very low TTLs
    These records have a TTL below 5m, causing extra queries and slower lookups: A (2m), MX (2m). Low TTLs are useful just before a planned change. The NS TTL at the parent is 2d and in the zone 1h; resolvers may use either.
    #32
  • ✓ 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.
