DNS PING v0.7 1997 Thomas H. Ptacek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Included in this distribution is the source code to a DNS "ping" utility, intended to assist in the benchmarking of DNS servers. This code has been compiled and tested under 4.4BSD, including FreeBSD 2.x and OpenBSD 2.x. I have not attempted to port this software to any non-4.4BSD platform. Unlike a previous version, this does not rely on packet capture (don't ask) or forgery (don't ask). It shouldn't be too hard to port. If you do manage a port, please send me email. + Ye gods, I got it to work on Solaris. There's a "man" page included with the distribution; read it if you have questions as to how this works.
