How to measure DNS lookup times?
Hi,
is there a way to measure what the DNS lookup times are from a Windows XP machine to another server? Is there a way to do it for Linux as well? I suspect my DNS server is slow as F#¤%...  Thanks. |

Not sure about windows, usually in linux, you can run a dig, like
dig domain.com @ns1.mynameserver.com and towards the end of dig results it will show you the time required for the dns lookup: Query time: xxx msec

About the nameserver, maybe he meant "'my' nameserver" as opposed to "my nameserver". |
