I am planning to setup nginx as reverse proxy. I will have apache to deliver my dynamic content, and nginx will deliver the static content.

My configuration i have now is just Apache with fastCGI. This gives me no configuration problems and runs great.

After I have set up nginx I want to run some benchmarks to see if I really got some performance increases, else i will switch back.

Does anyone know how I can benchmark this type of setup? Or maybe someone did this already and have some canned results, I will be glad to hear them.

PS. I know this is more a serverfault type of question, but i have seen numerous posts about apache and nginx so i thought i give it a try
