Control: DNS should have at least 2 name servers

Description

Only having 1 name server leaves you vulnerable to that name server failing and taking down your website. It is recommended to have at least 2 name servers for your domain to provide failover capability in the event one name server fails.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

steampipe check net_insights.control.dns_ns_at_least_two

Snapshot and share results via Steampipe Cloud:

steampipe login
steampipe check --share net_insights.control.dns_ns_at_least_two
