Glue at parent nameservers 7/7

SUCCESS Parent nameservers know A records for your domain, Very good !

NS

Mismatched glue 7/7

SUCCESS The DNS report did not detect any discrepancies between the glue provided by the parent servers and that provided by your authoritative DNS servers.

Nameservers A records 7/7

SUCCESS Nameservers do include corresponding A records when asked for your NS records. This ensures that your DNS servers know the A records corresponding to all your NS records.

The NS records at your nameservers are different

Nameserver name validity 7/7

SUCCESS All of the NS records that your nameservers report are valid (no IPs or partial domain names).

SOA

SOA record

SOA record is:
Hostmaster email
Serial
Refresh
Retry
Expire
TTL

Serial agreement 0/7

DANGER Some nameservers have a different soa serial number That can occur because of recent master update (slave have not loaded master zone yet) or the is a problem in DNS.

SOA MNAME 0/3

DANGER SOA (Start of Authority) record states that your master (primary) name server is: , but that server is not listed at the parent servers.

Serial value 0/1

WARNING SOA serial number is: This not appears to be in the recommended format of YYYYMMDDnn, where 'nn' is the revision. This number must be incremented every time you make a DNS change.

Refresh value 0/1

WARNING SOA Retry interval is : seconds. This seems too small. (Values about 3600-7200 seconds is good if not using DNS NOTIFY; RFC1912 2.2 recommends a value between 1200 to 43200 seconds (20 minutes to 12 hours)). This value determines how often secondary/slave nameservers check with the master for updates.

Retry value 0/1

WARNING SOA Retry interval is : seconds. This seems too small. (Values about 120-7200 seconds is good). The retry value is the amount of time your secondary/slave nameservers will wait to contact the master nameserver again if the last attempt failed.

Expire value 0/1

WARNING SOA Expire time is : seconds. This seems too small. (Values 604800 to 2419200 seconds (1-4 weeks) is good). RFC1912 suggests 2-4 weeks. This is how long a secondary/slave nameserver will wait before considering its DNS data stale if it can't reach the primary nameserver.

TTL value 0/1

WARNING SOA Expire time is : seconds. This seems too small. (about 300 to 86400 seconds or 5 min - 24 hours is good). RFC2308 suggests a value of 1-3 hours. This value used to determine the default (technically, minimum) TTL (time-to-live) for DNS entries, but now is used for negative caching.
