How do you measure the performance of DNS nameservers? I wanna check if there will be a noticeable degradation if I change providers...

@Gargron I don't know if it's what you're asking for, but you have DNSperf that test them. When I changed to Cloudflare the difference was noticible when testing sites with GTmetrix and Pingdom.

@Gargron Make it query a very long url so it takes a while for it to say the whole thing and then time it with a stopwatch.

DNS Monitoring With Nagios I don't remember if this does specific DNS performance test but you have source so it is at least a reporting framework.

@Gargron long time ago when I used Windows I used this tool to measure DNS server performance: https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm The page says it's compatible with Wine, so it's worth giving it a try. Bonus cool points that don't matter - it's just 147KB and written in assembly :) |
@Gargron Isn't it like latency vs load or something?
