Great question, Kevin (about doing load testing). I'd like to hear what
others think, as well.

I can share a little: there are several tools available, some free, some at
cost. While the server is Unix, are you able to run windows clients? That
will open up some more possibilities for the load testing tools (it's
certainly no problem for a Windows load-testing tool to bang against a unix
server).

MS offers a couple of freebies. Their WAS (web app stress) tool is discussed
in an article and thread (with some comments on it and others) at
http://www.theserverside.com/home/thread.jsp?thread_id=3396

The thread mentions apache jmeter, at
http://java.apache.org/jmeter/index.html

Another useful article at theserverside is on the general subject of
performance testing, at
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=Tips-On-Performance-Tes
ting-And-Optimization, and they mention using webload
(http://www.radview.com/products/WebLOAD.asp).

Indeed, just today a new article was posted on this very subject,
http://www.theserverside.com/home/thread.jsp?thread_id=10669.

Then there are commercial products from segue, mercury interactive
(mercuryinteractive.com), and empirix (formerly RSW software). Rational was
offering a free (not trial) version of their SiteLoad tool for up to like 50
users, but that seems to have disappeared and perhaps was folded into one of
their test suites.

As an aside, the Emprix's site had an article showing how e-load was used to
test a few java app servers, at
