Anyway, here is a quote from the Apache JMeter page
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/

"Apache JMeter  is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load
test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally
designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other
test functions."

I think that it can do what you need.  I haven't used it in a while, and
it looks like they have increased the functionality of it quite a bit
since I last used it.
