Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to d.nic.fr, f.ext.nic.fr, g.ext.nic.fr.
  • ✓ 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: d.nic.fr, f.ext.nic.fr, g.ext.nic.fr.
  • ✓ 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.
  • ✓ 3 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS2484 (NIC-FR-DNS-ANYCAST-AFNIC - AFNIC (Association Francaise pour le Nommage Internet en Cooperation), FR): 2 addresses; AS42 (WOODYNET-1 - WoodyNet, Inc., US): 2 addresses; AS8674 (NETNOD-IX - Netnod AB, SE): 2 addresses.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .fr
    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.
