Checks

✓ 4 nameservers #6

Delegated to ns1.surfnet.nl, ns1.umcg.nl, ns2.surfnet.nl, ns2.umcg.nl.
✓ 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: ns1.umcg.nl, ns2.umcg.nl.
✓ 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 2 IPv6 /48s.
i

All nameservers in one AS

All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS1103 (SURFNET-NL - SURF B.V., NL): 6 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 .nl

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
i

Partly IPv6

These nameservers have no IPv6 address: ns1.umcg.nl, ns2.umcg.nl.

NSEC3 with extra iterations or salt

NSEC3 uses 50 iterations and a 8-byte salt. RFC 9276 recommends 0 iterations and no salt: extra iterations cost resolvers CPU and add no real protection, and some validators treat high counts as insecure.
