It's a Kind of restricted!

It's a Bank application that only allows each host or user (they ate not mutual 
exclusive) to connected only once.
During login the web application reads the source IP Address and matches it 
with a host on the database. So if I'm using Jmeter from the same host... I'm 
in trouble :)

So I have thought about using HTTP-Request-Source-IP-address and create 
separate LAN cards on my host and use these new addresses.
What I'm saying is that neither HTTP-Request-Source-IP-address or forcing a 
host address via httpclient.localaddress.

Can you explain further what do you mean when you say "This only works using 
HttpClient sampler "?

Kind Regards,
Miguel

When you say 'validates' are you talking about load balancing or some form of 
restricted access?

If restricted access then just get the IP addresses of the hosts you are 
running jmeter on added to the relevant whitelist of IPs. If load balancing 
then, basically, jmeter does not support ip spoofing. Depending on the exact 
setup of the load balancer algorithm you can *potentially* get away with simply 
using multiple hosts to run the test from (keep in mind some load balancers 
base traffic on DNS, in this case do some research on 'Java DNS caching').

If your host has multiple IPs then httpclient.localaddress allows you to chose 
one for each running instance of jmeter. This only works using HttpClient 
sampler.
