How did you do this? Did you use the HTTP Sampler "Source Address" field? And what did you use to populate it? > However, the single > client is unable to scale any higher than this, and I need to be able to > test with potentially thousands of users. > > Therefore, I have acquired more physical hardware, with the intent to use > jmeter's distributed testing capability. You might find that the JMeter client and/or network connections to the JMeter servers are a limitation. I would suggest running stand-alone JMeter non-GUI instances and combining the results afterwards. You can start the test on a single client, and add more clients until the server under test starts to complain. In either case, make sure your JMeter hosts clocks are synchronised. > The trouble I am having is that I > can not seem to figure out how to have each individual server use a > different IP list.
