I'm looking at transitioning an existing website over to another server. There are some concerns that the server may not have the capacity to handle the traffic to this website.

The website is for a yearly event. It's traffic normally would not be a concern at all, but around the time of the event it can spike to around 700,000 hits in a day.

What would be the best way to test the capacity of the server to make sure it could handle the load? It's a dedicated LAMP server if that helps at all.

Thanks!
