Hello

Does anybody know a method to stress test a windows 2003 dns server
other than running batch scripts that do a nslookup from several
machines?

greetings

I found this list of tools:
http://www.softwareqatest.com/qatweb1.html#LOAD

For DNS, as well as many others, I saw a few in the list above. Here are a
couple...

Avalanche: Load-testing appliance from Spirent Communications, designed to
stress-test security, network, and Web application infrastructures by
generating large quantities of user and network traffic. Simulates as many
as two million concurrently-connected users with unique IP addresses,
emulates multiple Web browsers, supports Web Services testing Supports HTTP
1.0/1.1, SSL, FTP, RTSP/ RTP, MS Win Media, SMTP, POP3, DNS, Telnet, and
Video on Demand over Multicast protocols.

NetworkTester - Tool (formerly called 'NetPressure') from Agilent
Technologies uses real user traffic, including DNS, HTTP, FTP, NNTP,
streaming media, POP3, SMTP, NFS, CIFS, IM, etc. - through access
authentication systems such as PPPOE, DHCP, 802.1X, IPsec, as necessary.
Unlimited scalability; GUI-driven management station; no scripting; open
API. Errors isolated and identified in real-time; traffic monitored at every
step in a protocol exchange (such as time of DNS lookup, time to logon to
server, etc.). All transactions logged, and detailed reporting available.

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
