If you consider choosing to go with PDNS authoritative server, there is 
a built in web-server
that can give you performance/load statistics of the nameserver:

heres an example of the stats you can expect, from one of my slaves:

Uptime: 75.1 days Queries/second, 1, 5, 10 minute averages: 2.9, 3.11, 
3.15. Max queries/second: 8.8
Cache hitrate, 1, 5, 10 minute averages: 0%, 0%, 0%
Backend query cache hitrate, 1, 5, 10 minute averages: 0%, 0%, 0%
Backend query load, 1, 5, 10 minute averages: 8.68, 9.33, 9.44. Max 
queries/second: 53
Total queries: 22829639. Question/answer latency: 0ms
