DNS performance monitoring

[bbrendon]

I've been looking for a way to test the performance of a DNS server response. Not just that it has a response, but how long it takes to respond.

Any ideas? I have found tools on the web that are for win32 that do this, but nothing unix based.

I'd use UserParameter along with this code:

dig sf.net | grep 'Query time' | awk -F" " '{print $4}'

Of course you can queryany NS, like this:

dig sf.net 1.2.3.4

Hah!! So simple. Sorry for asking, but thanks!

After this many years there's still no oficial way to monitor DNS (something like net.dns.perf key).

Is there any intention to create a DNS performance key?
