"Benchmark for DNS resolver lock contention under low and high concurrency.",
longDescription: `
This test measures DNS resolver throughput by comparing baseline resolution
times with low concurrency (within the thread pool) against performance under
high concurrency (far exceeding the thread pool). It validates that the resolver
scales with available threads rather than serializing all requests.
