Load testing/benchmarking

Hi

 

I have a large site going live in about 3 weeks. During the testing process, I'd like to be able to test the site with fake users. I'm aware of such programs like ApacheBench, but these only test the HTTP header information.

 

I'm looking for a tool, where the whole site content, including headers, images, html, css etc will be downloaded. Hopefully I can set the user number of users viewing pages at the same time (i.e. 5000 -10,000) and check If the server can handle this.

 

I want to know If the server will handle the usual traffic I am expected to receive (large finance site) which will be quite high and therefore simply testing for HTTP requests isn't enough to guarantee the site will cope with heavy traffic.

 

Thanks
