Checks

✓ 4 nameservers #6

Delegated to dns-2.dfn.de, dns1.belwue.de, ns1.rptu.de, ns2.rptu.de.
✓ 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 4 IPv4 /24s and 3 IPv6 /48s.
✓ 3 autonomous systems #11

The nameservers are spread over: AS199578 (UNIKL - Rheinland-Pfaelzische Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern-Landau, DE): 4 addresses; AS553 (BELWUE - Universitaet Stuttgart, DE): 2 addresses; AS680 (DFN - Verein zur Foerderung eines Deutschen Forschungsnetzes e.V., DE): 2 addresses.
i

All nameserver names under .de

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.
