+from nsping.8:
+
+ Nsping uses DNS queries to monitor reachability and operation of name-
+ servers, as well as the latency of DNS queries. It does this by sending
+ random recursive DNS queries to the nameserver (avoiding the effects of
+ DNS caching) and measuring the amount of time between the sending of the
+ query and the receipt of the response packet.
