- We used perftcpdns for tcp performance tests for our new nameservers.. i 
think a release in bind 9.10 would be very nice and appreciated from our 
side :) thanks a lot..

You're right ;) thanks a lot for your hint. We had to do a lot of tweaking 
for results we can trust.. and by the way ..it was also interesting how 
much queries a kernel tcpstack could handle..

Uhm.. IMHO concerning DNS TCP testing it could be helpful.. 

kind regards

=> two comments:
 - I (or my ISC colleagues) never got a formal request to release a
  distrib of this tool (if you'd like to get it in contributed softwares

 - you have to very carefully define what you mean by TCP DNS performance
  or you can finish with interesting numbers about the NUT kernel
  (vs. name server) behavior...

Thanks
