This test is used to verify the responsiveness of the DNS servers in your network. Many networks maintain multiple DNS servers in their network, but testing the performance of them can be difficult. This test performs a DNS lookup of 5 separate hostnames against each of the DNS servers that were given out via DHCP.
DNS resolutions over 1 second and unresponsive servers will cause this test to fail.
