Pass |
SOA Master Nameserver: |
Your SOA master nameserver is ns1.google.com. It is also listed at the parent nameservers. This is correct. |
Pass |
SOA Admin Email: |
Your SOA admin email address is [email protected]. This seems to be a valid email address. |
Pass |
SOA Refresh: |
Your SOA refresh value is 2 hours. This specifies how often a slave nameserver checks for DNS updates at the master. This seems to be OK. RFC 1912 recommends values between 20 minutes and 12 hours. |
Pass |
SOA Retry: |
Your SOA retry value is 30 mins. This is the time a slave nameserver will wait if an attempt to contact a primary nameserver failed before it tries again. This seems to be OK. |
Pass |
SOA Expire: |
Your SOA expire value is 14 days. This is how long a slave nameserver will cache data if it cannot reach the master nameserver. If your master nameserver is unreachable for longer than this your slave nameservers will no longer cache your DNS. This seems to be OK. |
Pass |
SOA Minimum TTL: |
Your SOA minimum TTL value is 5 mins. This is interpreted by servers as the default TTL. It can be overridden on individual DNS entries. This seems low. Unless you are expecting frequent DNS changes or must react quickly to DNS changes you should consider increasing this value. Anything between 1 hour and 4 hours is OK with me. |
