A lot. Network tests are one thing; you can tweak the hobbitping or
fping options to speed them up, and/or play with the concurrency and
timeout settings for the bbtest-net tool. Which of these you use
depends on your mix of tests.

See the  bbtest-net man-page:

       --dnslog=FILENAME
              Log failed hostname lookups to the file FILENAME.
	      FILENAME should be a full pathname.
