You can absolutely do that. You can just create more load
per machine by not using a browser, which I think is why most load testing tools
just use HTTP.
True, but i could set up scripts to run on different computers, say at most 15-20 scenarios for each machine on a total of 30 machines and get performance metrics out of web server. Do you think that is even a good start?
