dnsmeter

DNSMeter is a tool for testing performance of nameserver and/or
infrastructure around it.
It generates dns queries and sends them via UDP to a target nameserver
and counts the answers.
Features:

payload can be given as text file or pcap file
can automatically run different load steps, which can be given as
list or ranges
results per load step can be stored in CSV file
sender address can be spoofed from a given network or from pcap file,
if payload is a pcap file
answers are counted, even if source address is spoofed, if answers get
routed back to the load generator
roundtrip-times are measured (average, min, mix)
amount of DNSSEC queries can be given as percentage of total traffic
optimized for high amount of packets. On an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430
v2 @ 2.50GHz it can generate more than 900.000 packets per second
