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: ns53.be, ns53.io.
    #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 4 IPv4 /24s and 4 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS202053 (UPCLOUD - UpCloud Ltd, FI): 6 addresses; AS24940 (HETZNER-AS - Hetzner Online GmbH, DE): 2 addresses.
  • ✓ Nameserver names under 2 TLDs #12
    Nameserver names use the TLDs .be, .io.
  • ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13
    Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

    Signed but not delegated securely
    The zone is signed but the parent has no DS record, so the signatures are not used. Publish the DS record at your registrar.

    Deprecated algorithm
    SHA-1 based algorithms are deprecated and rejected by some validators: RSASHA1 (5). Roll over to ECDSAP256SHA256 (13).

    The earliest DNSKEY/SOA signature expires at 2026-11-05 00:00 UTC.
  • !
    NSEC3 with extra iterations or salt
    NSEC3 uses 1 iteration and a 4-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.

    Very low TTLs
    These records have a TTL below 5m, causing extra queries and slower lookups: NS (4m59s). Low TTLs are useful just before a planned change. The NS TTL at the parent is 1d and in the zone 4m59s; resolvers may use either.

  • ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33
    The zone apex has no CNAME record.
  • ✓ No wildcard #34
    Names that don't exist return NXDOMAIN.

    No CAA records
    Without CAA records any certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain. A CAA record limits issuance to the CAs you use.
