5Included in this distribution is the source code to a DNS "ping"
6utility, intended to assist in the benchmarking of DNS servers.
7This code has been compiled and tested under 4.4BSD, including
8FreeBSD 2.x and OpenBSD 2.x.

10I have not attempted to port this software to any non-4.4BSD
11platform. Unlike a previous version, this does not rely on
12packet capture (don't ask) or forgery (don't ask). It shouldn't
13be too hard to port. If you do manage a port, please send me email.

15+ Ye gods, I got it to work on Solaris.

17There's a "man" page included with the distribution; read it if
18you have questions as to how this works.
