  • ✓ 8 nameservers #6
    Delegated to a.r06.twtrdns.net, a.u06.twtrdns.net, b.r06.twtrdns.net, b.u06.twtrdns.net, c.r06.twtrdns.net, c.u06.twtrdns.net, d.r06.twtrdns.net, d.u06.twtrdns.net.
  • ✓ 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 5 IPv4 /24s and 0 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS12008 (VERCARA - Vercara, LLC, US): 1 address; AS16509 (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US): 7 addresses.
  • 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
  • !
    No IPv6
    None of the nameservers has an IPv6 address, so IPv6-only resolvers can't reach them.
