Checks

  • i
    .de is a country-code TLD (ccTLD)
    Country-code TLD: governed by its local registry under national policy, not by an ICANN contract. Registrar accreditation, dispute resolution and RDAP/WHOIS rules are set by the registry.
    #1
  • ✓ TLD delegated and signed #2
    .de is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
  • i
    Registration data not available
    No registration data via RDAP: the registry of .de offers no RDAP service. Many ccTLD registries don't offer RDAP; check the registry's WHOIS instead.

Checks

  • ✓ 4 nameservers #6
    Delegated to dns1.belwue.de, dns3.belwue.de, dns3.uni-tuebingen.de, dns4.uni-tuebingen.de.
  • ✓ 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: dns3.uni-tuebingen.de, dns4.uni-tuebingen.de.
  • ✓ 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 (AS553 (BELWUE - Universitaet Stuttgart, DE): 8 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 .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.
