Hello Zayed,
  I noticed you have already received some answers regarding how to integrate it to Cacti.
  Regarding the tools to measure DNS performance I usually use two:
resperf and dnsperf, both are from Nominum and can be found here:
https://nominum.com/measurement-tools/
  Some years ago I posted this in Spanish:

probably it can help you:

Regards,

Alejandro,
