I highly recommend Siege from

http://www.joedog.org/

I have used this extensively for testing mapserver and mapfiles with 
good results. It is easy to set up can use. I use a perl script to 
generate urls for it, but I think there is a tool the will scan you web 
logs and convert them into input files for Siege depending on how your 
application generates urls.
