Any pointers >where I can obtain such tool/s would be great. Take a look at the website of Mercury Interactive (www.merc-int.com). They have a product, called 'Astra Loadtest', which should do more or less what you want to test : "Astra LoadTest is the easiest way to test scalability and performance of Web applications. With Astra LoadTest, you can emulate the traffic of thousands of real users to identify and isolate bottlenecks and optimize user experience. " Product information can be found on : http://www.merc-int.com/products/astraloadtest.html and apparently, there is also a possibility to download a trial version. Hope this helps.
