There are a couple tools you can use but realistically its the
multiple IP addresses that might be better. That said if your working
with a DB make sure your script does both reads and writes or even
have one script do a specific read type behavior, another a write etc.
Stress testing can mean a lot in terms of how you want to do things,
is there a specific stress test or vulnerability the person is
worried about. Is this a "test drive" for feeling or are they
actually wanting to "have 400lb Uncle Tim sit in each and bounce on
the tailgate".

2 ways, both script, if you're concerned about the database, then

a script to hit the db constantly to see what happens... if you're
concerned about the server write a script to do constant posts to that
server.
But to truly stress test it, I would thin you would need multiple
clients from different IP addresses. I've never done it though so...

A client wants me to stress test a webserver before I put it up.
I'm looking for something that will mass enter tons of stuff into
their submit fields in order to test their database (which, I
suspect,
will be the achilles heal of the load testing)
Any ideas on which tools to use?
