Hello

Please, what is the recommended open source tool to test the performance and benchmarking of a DNS server i.e. capture packets and then send them to a DNS server to measure response time, latency, cache usage etc.

Regards
Sami

There are several tools with different features and behavior. I would take alook at dnsperf, kxdpgun and flamethrower regards

Tools listed by Klaus below are mostly suitable for authoritative servers.

For resolvers the only tool with sensible methodology I know of is DNS
Shotgun:
https://dns-shotgun.readthedocs.io/


When you select a tool, make sure you drill down into it's load 
generator model and judge it's impact on your benchmark. For details see
https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/nsdi06/tech/full_papers/schroeder/schroeder.pdf

Good luck with benchmarking!
