How do I stress test my newly setup DNS BIND server?

[Minh Son]

you can use Dnsperf of Nominum INC. It's a nice and simple tool.

  Infoblox has a nice test that you can run against your primary nameserver.  You run the test from their site so you can check to see if you cache is viewable from external DNS queries and things like that.  To run the is free and it does not check the performance on the configuration.

  Thanks guys; how about something to check for any possible errors that might be generating?

  Samad,

  It depends on how you want to test. Are you looking to test DNS query performance (if so, try dnsperf from Nominum), and if you just want to test the box itself for malformed query handling / TCP/UDP stack performance try using tcpreplay + PCAPs captured from the world.
