Stress test

I am in the process of setting up a http stress test and would like some
advice. My plan is to use webpolygraph to saturate a 100mbps line. This is
the setup I am using:

Client1 client2 client3
   I I I
   I I I
   -----------------------------------------------------
   I SWITCH I
   ----------------------------------------------------
                          I
                          I <---- 100 MBPS line
                          I
  ------------------------------------------------------
 I SWITCH I
 --------------------------------------------------------
  I I I
  I I I
Server1 Server2 Server3

How realistic is it for webpolygraph to be able to saturate the 100mbps line
connecting the switches? The OS's on all clients and servers is FreeBSD 4.3
? Any advice on setting this up would be appreciated.

Thanks
