I've been playing around with a handy utility called 'hammerhead'. It's a web-server stress tester, and I've been throwing it against this server to see how far I can push it. The answer is pretty far. Considering what the current load is on the existing 'student web' server, we shouln't have a problem. I threw a load that was around 75x the normal load, as baselined by the existing server, and the server didn't even creek. I'm playing around with some options to get a better stress tester out of it, so we'll see how far it goes.
