About:
dnspyre is a command-line DNS benchmarking tool designed to perform high queries per second (QPS) load testing against DNS servers. It provides detailed statistics and performance metrics to help users analyze the reliability and speed of their DNS infrastructure under stress.
Key Features:
  • High QPS load testing capabilities
  • Detailed latency and performance statistics
  • Support for multiple record types (A, AAAA, TXT, etc.)
  • Configurable concurrency and query parameters
Use Cases:
  • Benchmarking and stress testing DNS server performance
  • Comparing response times between different DNS providers
  • Validating DNS infrastructure stability under load
Alternatives:
  • dnsperf – Traditional DNS benchmarking tool, while dnspyre offers more modern statistics and easier configuration
  • kdig – DNS query tool focused on individual lookups rather than load testing
