What is the intention of this PR? This looks like it issues DNS queries for 'random' domain names? What is the scale? 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000? After these queries are executed what is the consumer? Are we measuring something? This sounds like the consumer doesn't have a great means of testing.

The idea is to generate random DNS queries. This will be used to scale test retina which will be generating metrics for traffic on the cluster (both these DNS queries and other traffic generated). This was requested as part of #1040

@MikeZappa87 pursuant to our earlier concerns about the external DNS traffic this might generate, it looks like .test is configured to black hole requests. The SOA record lists localhost as the resolver for .test:

The concern is that this could be hitting DNS servers that we don't own nor do we have an agreement to do this. It probably makes more sense to stand up a DNS server we control to do this or come up with a design change to test retina without doing this.
