Fully baked is not quite the status of dnstcpbench, but it is baked. More
details on
https://blog.powerdns.com/2013/06/25/simple-tcpip-dns-benchmarking-tool/

Manpage now lives on https://doc.powerdns.com/md/manpages/dnstcpbench.1/

This is part of our pdns-tools packages which can be installed through
the repositories at https://repo.powerdns.com/ or you can build from the
tarballs (./configure --enable-tools).

Good luck!
