Hi Byron, I recommend the tool grinder (http://grinder.sourceforge.net). It is simple and does the job (e.g. you can start several clients to "attack" a certain host). Furthermore you get data about how many request are being processed per second.
Simple installation: - install python and jdk - download grinder - extract it - put the attached files in a folder in the grinder home dir - start proxy and set browser to use proxy at 8001 to record your actions - then stop proxy and start console, after that start workers - use grinder.properties to adjust parameters grinder.processes=1 (don't change, maybe 2-3) grinder.threads=3 (how many threads, 3-10) grinder.runs=20 (how many repetitions) - start grinder on other machines as well
Regards Olaf
