PARENT0.0 ms
Domain NS records
Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

darban5.usm.edu [23.98.146.63] (GLUE) [TTL=172800]
ns2.usm.edu [131.95.186.31] (GLUE) [TTL=172800]

b.edu-servers.net was kind enough to give us that information.
TLD Parent Check
b.edu-servers.net has information for your TLD.
This is a good thing as there are some other domain extensions like "co.us" for example that are missing a direct check.
Your nameservers are listed
b.edu-servers.net has your nameservers listed.
This is a must if you want to be found as anyone that does not know your DNS servers will first ask the parent nameservers.
DNS Parent sent Glue
2 of 2 nameservers sent GLUE.

The parent nameserver a.gtld-servers.net sent GLUE, meaning it sent your nameservers as well as the IPs of your nameservers.
Glue records are A records that are associated with NS records to provide "bootstrapping" information to the nameserver. (See RFC 1912 section 2.3)
Nameservers A records
Every nameserver listed has A records.
This is a must if you want to be found.
NS2759.5 ms
NS records from your NameServers
NS records returned by the currently delegated nameservers are:

Hostname IP TTL Latency Last SOA change Last WHOIS change
ns2.usm.edu 131.95.186.31 28800 78 ms 2015-07-30 N/A
darban5.usm.edu 23.98.146.63 28800 90 ms 2015-07-30 N/A

All NS records have the same TTL: 28800 seconds.

Mismatched NS records
The NS records at all your nameservers are identical to those listed by the parent.
DNS servers responded
All nameservers listed at the parent server responded.
Name of nameservers are valid
All of the NS records that your nameservers report seem valid.
Multiple Nameservers
You have 2 nameservers. This is acceptable, but having 3 or more is recommended according to RFC2182 section 5.
Having 2 nameservers is ok by me.
Missing nameservers reported by parent
All NS records are the same at the parent and at your nameservers.
Missing nameservers reported by your nameservers
All nameservers returned by the parent server are the same as the ones reported by your nameservers.
Domain CNAMEs
OK. RFC1912 2.4 and RFC2181 10.3 state that there should be no CNAMEs if an NS (or any other) record is present.
NSs CNAME check
OK. RFC1912 2.4 and RFC2181 10.3 state that there should be no CNAMEs if an NS (or any other) record is present.
Different subnets
You have nameservers on different subnets.
Recursive Queries
ns2.usm.edu → ❌ This DNS server allows recursion, which may pose a security risk (it responds to out-of-zone queries).
darban5.usm.edu → ✅ does not allow recursion (good)
Same Glue
The A records (GLUE) from the parent zone match the A records returned by your nameservers. OK.
NS Self-IP Consistency
All nameservers return consistent IP addresses with what they declare in the zone.
Glue for NS records
GLUE was not sent when I asked your nameservers for your NS records.
This is ok but you should know that in this case an extra A record lookup is required.
The nameservers without glue are:
    131.95.186.31
You can fix this by adding A records to your nameservers.
Nameservers are lame
All the nameservers listed at the parent servers answer authoritatively for your domain.
IPs of nameservers are public
Ok. Looks like the IP addresses of your nameservers are public.
This is a good thing because it will prevent DNS delays and other problems.
DNS servers allow TCP connection
OK. Seems all your DNS servers allow TCP connections.
This is a good thing and useful even if UDP connections are used by default.
Different autonomous systems
Authoritative name servers are spread across multiple autonomous systems:
    ns2.usm.edu → AS16430
    darban5.usm.edu → AS8075
Stealth NS records sent
Ok. No stealth NS records are sent
DNSSEC416.1 ms
Zone signed
DNSSEC: Unsigned
No RRSIG record found. The zone is not signed with DNSSEC.
DNSKEY records
No DNSKEY records found.
DS record in parent
No DS record found in the parent zone.
NSEC/NSEC3 record
No NSEC or NSEC3 record found when querying a non-existent subdomain.
This may indicate a misconfiguration or lack of proper DNSSEC denial-of-existence support.
SOA0.1 ms
SOA Record
The SOA (Start of Authority) record is:
    Primary nameserver: ns.usm.edu
    Hostmaster E-mail address: usmtc@usm@edu
    Serial #: 2015073070
    Refresh: 10800
    Retry: 3600
    Expire: 1209600
    Default TTL: 900
NSs have same SOA serial
OK. All your nameservers agree that your SOA serial number is 2015073070.
SOA MNAME entry
ns.usm.edu is NOT listed at the parent level. This could cause issues with zone transfer or delegation.
SOA Serial
Your SOA serial number is: 2015073070. This appears to follow the recommended YYYYMMDDnn format.
SOA REFRESH
Your SOA REFRESH interval is: 10800. OK.
SOA RETRY
Your SOA RETRY value is: 3600. OK.
SOA EXPIRE
Your SOA EXPIRE number is: 1209600. Looks OK.
SOA MINIMUM TTL
Minimum TTL is low (900). Recommended: 1h+ (3600).
A low minimum TTL results in more frequent DNS queries, which can increase server load. A higher value improves cache efficiency.

  • Use mode: enforce to prevent delivery to MX hosts that do not satisfy the TLS policy.
  • Add at least one mx: line matching the domain's legitimate MX hosts.
  • Set max_age to at least 604800 seconds once the policy is stable.
  • Publish an _smtp._tls TXT record with v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:tlsrpt@yourdomain to receive TLS reports.

vary
Accept-Encoding
Tells caches which request headers affect the response.
date
Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:26:02 GMT
Origin date of the response.
age
None
Indicates how long the response has been cached.
x-powered-by
Not defined
May reveal framework/version. Removing lowers fingerprinting.
strict-transport-security
Not defined
Enforces HTTPS for a period, strengthening TLS.
Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce secure connections.
x-xss-protection
1; mode=block
Deprecated. X-XSS-Protection sets the configuration for the legacy XSS Auditor in older browsers.
The recommended value used to be "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block" but you should now look at Content Security Policy instead.
x-content-type-options
nosniff
Stops MIME sniffing. Only valid value: 'nosniff'.
x-permitted-cross-domain-policies
Not defined
Controls Flash/Adobe cross-domain policies. Use 'none'.
Prefer X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: none.
referrer-policy
Not defined
Controls referrer information sent on navigation.
Recommended: strict-origin-when-cross-origin.
permissions-policy
Not defined
Restricts powerful features (camera, mic, geolocation…).
Add a Permissions-Policy to restrict powerful features.
expect-ct
Not defined
Deprecated control, should be removed if present.
x-frame-options
SAMEORIGIN
Protects against clickjacking. Prefer CSP frame-ancestors today.
Prefer CSP frame-ancestors over X-Frame-Options.
content-security-policy
Not defined
CSP limits content sources to mitigate XSS.
No CSP detected; add one to mitigate XSS.
cross-origin-embedder-policy
Not defined
COEP is part of cross-origin isolation (with COOP).
cross-origin-embedder-policy-report-only
Not defined
COEP in report-only mode (not enforced).
cross-origin-opener-policy
Not defined
COOP isolates browsing context groups when set to same-origin.
cross-origin-opener-policy-report-only
Not defined
COOP in report-only mode (not enforced).
cross-origin-resource-policy
Not defined
CORP restricts who can load this resource.
access-control-allow-origin
Not defined
CORS: which origins are allowed to read this response.
access-control-allow-methods
Not defined
CORS: which methods are allowed.
access-control-allow-headers
Not defined
CORS: which request headers are allowed.
alt-svc
Not defined
Advertises alternative services (e.g., HTTP/3 via QUIC).
Other detected headers
Additional headers returned by the server. Shown for information only and not included in the score.
HeaderValue
ServerApache
SERVER-ID{NODE-NAME}.{NODE-ENV}
Content-Rangebytes 0-0/13343
Content-Length1
Recommended starter configuration (.htaccess)
Starter configuration to copy and adapt. CSP, CORS and cookie rewriting are intentionally commented because they can break some sites if enabled blindly.
