Re: How do I stress test my newly setup DNS BIND server?
you can use Dnsperf of Nominum INC. It's a nice and simple tool. - Original Message - From: Gary Gladney To: 'Samad Agha' Cc: bind-users@lists.isc.org Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 12:42 AM Subject: RE: How do I stress test my newly setup DNS BIND server? Infoblox has a nice test that you can run against your primary nameserver. You run the test from their site so you can check to see if you cache is viewable from external DNS queries and things like that. To run the is free and it does not check the performance on the configuration.
