  • i
    2 nameservers
    Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: itzel.ns.cloudflare.com, josh.ns.cloudflare.com.
    #6
  • !
    NS sets differ
    The nameservers at the parent and in the zone should be the same. Only in the zone: dns-ext1.wendys.com, dns-ext2.wendys.com. itzel.ns.cloudflare.com, josh.ns.cloudflare.com report NS dns-ext1.wendys.com dns-ext2.wendys.com itzel.ns.cloudflare.com josh.ns.cloudflare.com.
    #7
  • ✓ 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 7 IPv4 /24s and 4 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS13335 (CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US): 12 addresses; AS13877 (WENDYS-DUBLIN - Wendy_s International, Inc., US): 2 addresses.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .com
    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: dns-ext1.wendys.com, dns-ext2.wendys.com.
