Hi Prakash,

Look at DNSPerf. It's an open source tool for benchmarking DNS servers.
It has a component called resperf, specifically for resolvers. You could
try to use that to find out how far you can push your resolvers. Make
sure to measure the packet rate and the bandwidth from your resolvers
towards the Internet.

However, I would also caution you on the use of firewalls in front busy
resolvers. If the firewalls try to keep state for every UDP packet
traversing them, they will quickly fall over.

Regards,
Anand
