FYI, I've created a snap package for dnsperf based on this gist. (Thanks!)

More details here.

with 2.0.0.0 and 2.1.0.0 the lGeoIP lib is also needed. you may need to add libgeoip-dev to the apt-get install command. Thanks for providing the script.

Sample query file is available on ftp://ftp.nominum.com/pub/nominum//dnsperf/data/queryfile-example-current.gz .

Thanks for sharing!
