Chad,
 I wrote a VERY simple C program last year to test web traffic through a
firewall. It can be run on the host or the web server itself. The user can
define how many connections/clients are to be run. The clients just keep
issuing "GET /" HTML commands. After the test the number of connections/sec are
printed. I'll send you the source if your interested.
