• ✓ 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 6 IPv4 /24s and 6 IPv6 /48s.
• i

  All nameservers in one AS

  All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS21342 (AKAMAI-ASN2 - Akamai International B.V., NL): 12 addresses). An outage or attack on that network affects all nameservers; large anycast providers mitigate this, but a secondary DNS provider adds independence.

  #11
• i

  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.

  Hidden master

  The primary nameserver ns1.vfc.com is not listed as a nameserver: a hidden master that only feeds the public secondaries. That is a common setup; make sure it is not reachable for zone transfers from outside.
