DNS REQUIREMENTS FOR .NL:

Each domain shall have a primary name server and at least one secondary name server. The name servers stated for incorporation in the NL zone file should preferably be located in different (sub) networks.

The name servers stated for incorporation in the NL zone file should be accessible from anywhere on the Internet.

Zone transfers may be blocked if desired, but shall be open at least to the NL primary name server host. This is necessary for (regular) checks of the name servers. It should be pointed out that blocking of zone transfers usually provides only a semblance of security.

Prior to a domain being registered, the NL zone file manager checks all name servers. This check includes name servers that have not been stated, but are (evidently) incorporated in the zone file of the domain concerned. Attention will be paid especially, but not exclusively, to the following items:

The NS records of the zone file shall contain at least the stated name servers;

Primary name server according to [field #4 of] the Server of Authority (SOA) record shall be identical to that in the NS record and in accordance with the statement;

The SOA, NS and MX records may refer to objects with an A record only, not to objects with a CNAME record;

In view of the provisions under item 4, the zone file shall contain an MX record (or an A record) for the domain proper;

Fallback MX records may not refer to third parties without permission being granted by those third parties; in case of doubt the NL zone file manager can verify this with the third party in question;

According to the standards a glue (A) record is incorporated in the NL zone file for each name server host at any sub-domain level under the .NL domain; if a name server for a domain is operated from a host of the provider involved, the host name as it is known with the provider shall be included in the zone file and the statement; the domain name in question may not be included in the zone file, to prevent pollution of the NL zone file by unnecessary glue records as well as problems in case the IP address of such a name server host should change;
