Alex,

You'll definately want to use the WebAxe workload for testing a reverse proxy
configuration. The difference has to do with server-side think time delays,
number of server agents, working set size, and more.

webaxe-1.pg won't work with the most recent stable version of Web Polygraph.
Be sure to visit http://polygraph.ircache.net/Workloads/WebAxe-1/ and
get the "webaxe-2.5.pg" file that you can use with Polygraph-2.5.4.
