Info on Load Testing Tools Needed

Hello, we are a MS SQL 2000 shop and use a web server running IIS to serve up
document images to Internet users (about 1,500 a day). Can someone recommend
me some quality simulator tools that we can use to simulate 1500 users
hitting our website daily, and 4500 query requests to our SQL Server daily?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Here is a huge list:

Indexing PDFs in SQL Server 2005

Did you run the pdf's through filtdump to see if there is any textual info
in them? Sometimes pdf's are images only.
Can you send me some of these pdf's offline or post them here?

Hilary, thanks agian for your help with my FTS problems.
I've tried several PDFs, FiltDump spits out the expected text for all
of them. I'm emailing you one of the PDFs that I created as a test
using MS Word 2003 and the CutePDF printer driver.

|||Well, after redoing the following steps it's now indexing my PDFs (and
the PDF properties too!).
1) Run "exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources',1"
2) Run "exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0"
3) Restart SQL Server
4) Delete all the rows in my table with PDFs in them and re-insert
them.
I know I did all these last week but this time it worked? Now I'll
experment with needing both these settings and what Acrobat 8.0 does to
the equasion.
