Tools listed by Klaus below are mostly suitable for authoritative servers.
For resolvers the only tool with sensible methodology I know of is DNS

When you select a tool, make sure you drill down into it's load
generator model and judge it's impact on your benchmark. For details see

Good luck with benchmarking!

Betreff: Tools to mesure performance and benchmarking of a DNS
Hello
Please, what is the recommended open source tool to test the performance
and benchmarking of a DNS server i.e. capture packets and then send them
to a DNS server to measure response time, latency, cache usage etc.
Regards
Sami
