Apache Jmeter allows us to hit the server with simultaneous connections. On, the other hand I have 4 webservers - one acting as a load balancer and other 3 acting as a application server. So, i want to load test these servers at once to check its performance. Is there a way to load test a load balancer. Any tools that will be helpful to carry out. I will edit this question further with more information. For time being could someone point out a starting point.
