the NS for this zones are CNAMES. That's broken.
the nameservers are also located at the same spot on earth ( same
mistake as MS did 2001 )  Not ok.

Same set of nameservers ( no redundancy) but otherwize correct.

Seems broken, none of the assigned NS 
ns2.enavn.org (193.201.35.3) 
ns1.enavn.org (193.201.35.2) 

are authorative.
In addition both are located at the end of the same link.

You could use dnswalk to check for yourself.
