Yes, but the mission is just to see which webserver is "better" in terms of performance. So, I should be more specific with my question: to the end of determining strictly which webserver is more efficient do you see any problems with this type of setup?
And another question: how would you do it differently? Sure, in an ideal world I could assemble my own botnet and then blast my corporate network with a gigabit of distributed traffic multiple times for each webserver -- but obviously in the real world that's not going to happen.
