25
Like DNS, but uses Net::DNS and Time::HiRes instead of
26
dig. This probe does *not* retry the request three times
27
before it is considerd "lost", like dig and other resolver
28
do by default. If operating as caching Nameserver, BIND
29
(and maybe others) expect clients to retry the request if
30
the answer is not in the cache. So, ask the nameserver for
31
something that he is authorative for if you want measure
32
the network packet loss correctly.
34
If you have a really fast network and nameserver, you will
35
notice that this probe reports the query time in microsec-
39
The number of concurrent processes to be run. See
40
_p_r_o_b_e_s_:_:_b_a_s_e_f_o_r_k(3pm) for details.
42
Supported target-level probe variables:
45
Name of the host to look up in the dns.
48
Time to sleep between two lookups in microseconds.
52
Record type to look up. Default is "A".
55
Timeout for a single request in seconds. Default is 5.
58
UDP Port to use. Default is 53. (Surprise!)
