First passed parameter is number of iterations.
A higher number will provide more accurate results at the expense of runtime.
e.g. \`${0:-./dnsbenchmark.sh} 100\` will run 100 iterations per dns server \(200 per config entry due to alternate DNS\)
The DNS servers and domains are configurable in the script.

Removed OpenDNSHome as there seems to be some censorship
