  All nameservers in one AS

  All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS16552 (DIGICERT - Tiggee LLC, US): 12 addresses). An outage or attack on that network affects all nameservers; large anycast providers mitigate this, but a secondary DNS provider adds independence.

  Nameserver names use the TLDs .com, .net.
• ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13

  Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.
