info

.be country-code

Found

TLD: .be (country-code)
ICANN policies apply: no

Checks

i

.be 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

.be is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
i

Registration data not available

No registration data via RDAP: the registry of .be offers no RDAP service. Many ccTLD registries don't offer RDAP; check the registry's WHOIS instead.

2 nameservers

Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: dns17.ovh.net, ns17.ovh.net.

#6
✓ 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 2 IPv4 /24s and 2 IPv6 /48s.
i

All nameservers in one AS

All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS16276 (OVH - OVH SAS, FR): 4 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 .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
✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13

Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.
