[Xen-users] simulated network statistics

[Darnell Brawner <simonslaw@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have just started to look into Zen and wanted to know if it can  
provide a solution to my problem.
I wish to simulate a business solution network.
Example:
 cache servers
multiple web servers with optional configuration of passive/active  
clustering
multiple DB servers  with passive/active clustering.
and other dedicated servers.

Basically if you don't have the money to create an 8 server network  
from lower end boxes for testing and development needs. Can you  
create one with Xen using one  2-4 way dual core server? Hopefully  
giving each guest its own CPU allowing for load balancing testing.
If this can be set up how relevant are some of the statistics you can  
gather from testing. I just need to know if lets say i make an apache  
config change or some coding changes  and performance is gained or   
lost will the same occur  on the live real network. I am less  
concerned  with the degree of change accuracy and more with the  
direction mirroring.
