hi ya
ditto to martin's "what are you trying to test and expected
results" comment...
and are you trying to see if the firewall is acting as a firewall
and blocking/logging "bad" traffic ??
for simple tests.... write a simple sh/perl script
do forever "telnet mail.yourdomain.com 25"
and see when the network and/or your mail server dies
do forever "lynx http://www.yourdomain.com";
and see when the network and/or your web server dies
do forever " ping -c 1000 -s 60000 w.x.y.0"
and see when the network nd/or your servers all die
do forever "nmap -sS -F -O www.yourdomain.com"
and watch your port scan detectors light up
your firewall should be able to keep up with the incoming
requests
