SYNOPSIS

11       calidns [OPTIONS] QUERY_FILE DESTINATION INITIAL_QPS HITRATE
12

DESCRIPTION

14       calidns  reads  queries  from  QUERY_FILE and sends them as a recursive
15       query to DESTINATION (an IPv4 or IPv6 address, optionally with  a  port
16       number),  starting at INITIAL_QPS queries per second and aims to have a
17       cache hitrate of HITRATE percent.
18
19       It will then try to determine the maximum amount of queries per  second
20       the recursor can handle with the aforementioned HITRATE.
21

QUERY_FILE FORMAT

23       The  format  of the QUERY_FILE is very simple, it should contain "QNAME
24       QTYPE" tuples, one per line. For example:
25
26          powerdns.com A
27          powerdns.com AAAA
28          google.com A
29
30       This is similar to Alexa top 1 million list.
31

OPTIONS

33       --increment <NUM>
34              On every subsequent run, multiply the number of queries per sec‐
35              ond by NUM. By default, this is 1.1.
36
37       --want-recursion
38              Set  this  flag  to send queries with the Recursion Desired flag
39              set.
