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:

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

Good luck with benchmarking!
