In my experience, 15kqps is easy to achieve with a hot cache, but if you
are forcing the resolver to make recursive queries you'll be sacrificing
a lot of the potential performance (but I can't give you numbers on how
much).

Set the TTL to a non-zero value to get a more realistic test.

Are you hammering the same qname or a small number of qnames? If so I
would expect the server to drop queries while it is recursing - look at
the documentation for max-clients-per-query.

That's kind of the point of a cache :-)
