How could I possibly live-up to that?  In any event, I'd be very happy 
to have folks beating on netperf4's DNS tests.  At present it is a 
multi-client synchronized queryperf-like test with aspirations of bigger 
things to come.

Depends on libxml2 and glib-2, has been compiled on all the major 
platforms (including Windows using the DDK) save Solaris.  The 
documentation under doc/ is presently pathetic.

Discussion of netperf can be had in netperf-talk at netperf.org. 
Discussion of netperf development (and seeing the commits as they happen 
) can be had in netperf-dev at netperf.org

happy benchmarking,
