Find slow dns address resolving for test purposes

Question

I want to find an address that resolves realy slowly to test dns resolving error handling. Or if I can simulate a slow dns address resolving it will be also fine.

I don't think any one around here maintains a list of slow DNS servers. You could simulate slow DNS resolution by setting up traffic shaping to an existing name server, though.

slodns does this (defaults to delaying answers by 1s). Found it via this workshop explaining how to troubleshoot, using gethostlatency.
