The original list of 10 hardcoded domains is a biased sample of frequently visited sites, all likely to be permanent residents of most DNS resolvers' caches. In this commit, the domains are randomly chosen from OpenDNS' public top 10K and random 10K domain lists each time the test is run. (The number of domains tested can easily be customized by changing the
NUM_DOMAINS2TESTvalue.)This commit also adds support for providers using non-standard ports (using the standard notation e.g.
127.0.0.1:5353#mydns), which is helpful if you are running/testing several DNS resolvers locally on different ports and want to benchmark them against each other (and against public DNS resolvers).Finally, in this commit, the results are automatically sorted by average lookup time (and the sort column is automatically calculated from
NUM_DOMAINS2TEST). There are also other tweaks to the table layout.Sample output
