and the next paragraph makes it clear that even a second machine in the
same subnet is not enough for obvious reasons

Network diversity
The name servers must be in at least two topologically separate
networks. A network is defined as an origin autonomous system in the BGP
routing table. The requirement is assessed through inspection of views
of the BGP routing table

Those requirements are the ones that apply to delegations in the root zone.

every registry i know enforces that points too based on https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1034 and "A given zone will be available from several name servers to insure its availability in spite of host or communication link failure. By administrative fiat, we require every zone to be available on at least two servers, and many zones have more redundancy than that" and when one thinks that RFC's are just a "request for comment".. well..

i have even seen requirements of 3 nameservers while it's common sense that when you need to have two that it's pointless using the same machine as well as it's pointless have two MX records pointing to the same IP

additionally: by common sense both should use zone-transfers instead copy zone-files because errors in the zonefile would not bring down the slave (many errors like "CNAME and others" simply let not start named at reboot)

As it is, the topology test is broken because it doesn't account for an
Anycast configuration where multiple sites share the same origin ASN
even though they're connected via completely different AS paths
