ideas on load testing

[Brock Anderson]

Dylan,

I suggest JMeter.  It was designed to load test resources, including 
HTTP resources like Mapserver.  In fact, I have used it several times 
for precisely that purpose.  It's open source, and written in Java.  You 
can get it here:

    http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/

JMeter has lots of neat features built in, but it's not too hard to add 
custom functionality if required.
