Conjecture on simple real zeros of multiple zeta-functions

Let r2r\geq 2. For 2kr2\leq k\leq r, let Ir(k)I_r(k) denote the number of inter-admissible zeros of ζr(s)\zeta_r(s) in the interval (1/k,1/(k1))(1/k,1/(k-1)), where an inter-admissible zero is a real zero in this interval. Conjecture on the real zeros. For any r2r\geq 2, all inter-admissible zeros of ζr(s)\zeta_r(s) are simple, and

Ir(k)=[rk](2kr).I_r(k)=\left[\frac{r}{k}\right]\qquad (2\leq k\leq r).

The numerical data for 2r102\leq r\leq 10 support this conjecture, but no rigorous proof is known.
