Tony Finch was correct earlier to point you in the direction of max-clients-per-query. There's also this KB article: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00463/0/How-does-clients-per-query-work.html But your test scenario is in any case flawed. You're attempting to test how well named can handle recursing every time, but that is not going to happen because you're using the same FQDN. What's happening here is that the first query received causes recursion to commence to get the answer to the client query. All the other clients making the same query while this is ongoing, don't cause named to start more recursion - instead they will be queued waiting for the answer to be available (i.e. there are multiple clients per query at this point in time). When the answer comes back from recursion, it will be given to all those clients that were waiting for it. Then, because it had TTL=0, it's not kept to be used for newer clients asking for the same thing - essentially the process starts all over again. And the other thing that is happening (as has already been pointed out) is that you're (very likely) tripping up over the 'clients-per-query' self-tuning throttle (designed to protect your server from a storm of the same query from multiple clients). This is going to result in dropped queries. Have a look at your logs (make sure you're logging everything) - if you see clients-per-query being adjusted up and down, then you've been hitting this limit. Hope this info helps you to design a test that matches better to what you need to achieve.
