Many people sent mail asking me what inetload was, so here's a brief blurb. Inetload is a MS NT package (dont' think it works under '95) that lets you simulate various quantities of users using various network services. You can simulate NNTP, SMTP, POP3, HTTP, and others, although my primary concern is those 3. It has a very simplified scripting language that you use to simulate your workload, then you kick it loose and let it do it's thing. I've used it to simulate hundreds of users doing mail, pop, nntp, and it works slick. (Use of inetload has been instrumental in killing my 3.0/SMP boxes recently :)). You can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload then it's in the server/utilities section. Something like this needs to be written for FreeBSD. :)
