Problem ======= At the moment, DNS Shotgun does not try detect/act if the other side is not responding at all and the test always runs to the end of input file. Scenarios ========= It would be beneficial if: - Server under test crashed - Server under test did not even start (misconfiguration) - Network does not pass packets back and forth (misconfiguration) Proposal ======== Detect large blocks of consecutive timeouts and gracefully terminate test if that happens. This is implemented in respdiff, so I think the same logic could be re-purposed for DNS Shotgun.
