+=head1 NAME
+
+dnsperftest - Monitor response times of multiple DNS servers
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Query all name servers in /etc/resolv.conf for a list of domains
+and report the average response time.
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf are used automatically
+
+"env.resolvconf" can be used to pass a custom resolv.conf path
+
+A list of default domains is checked
+
+Example configuration:
+
+    [dnsperftest]
+        env.resolvconf /etc/resolv.conf.cweiske
+        env.domains fsf.org fsfe.org munin-monitoring.org
