I probably was not 100% clear when I asked the question. Sorry. I am looking for 
test that would tell me how will server perform in the field on WAN.

Webstone is a bit naive about benchmarking. It allows comparison of server  
scores, however the fact that a particular OS/server combination scores higher 
does not guaranatee that it will have higher thoughput in real life situation.

I scanned briefly through Web Polygraph's documentation and it seems like more 
powerful tool, but I could not find how to emulate large delays and packet loss 
common for WANs.

IS.
