Performance is directly related to the hardware you throw at Bind so a
v100 with a gig or ram wont handle the same as a 480 with 5 gigs of ram
and two cpu's. I have tested limits here myself and a hard limit for
bind that can be changed via the conf file is the recursive clients
which if I remember correctly is set to 1k ( don't quote me on that one
). To test my Solaris servers here I have written a perl script that
actually fires off multiple dig commands at the given server to see what
and where I bend at, but there are not any true tools that I can think
to test performance.
