Feature Request: negate name servers from command-line #261

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I feel that it'd be useful to be able to negate/blacklist one or more name 
servers from being included in the benchmark by use of the GUI and/or command 
line without editing the config file(s).

For instance, I'd like the benchmark to not include my local DNS servers at 
10.0.0.1-8, but the only ways which I can currently achieve this are by either 
editing the configuration files directly (or creating my own configuration 
files and editing them) or by using the "-O, --only" command-line option to 
define my own list of servers - both of these are time consuming and make the 
process of using namebench unnecessarily cumbersome.

If this is not likely to be added, then I'd also like to suggest that the 
process for creating and using custom configuration files be improved; so that 
a user can, for example, create a dot configuration file in their home 
directory (using a default filename) and have namebench automatically parse it 
(possibly in addition to the packaged config files).
