For performance testing, I would like to capture some traffic from a production server and use that as a basis to replay the request to a test server in order to simulate a realistic load in our development environment. These are all stateless queries, so no issues regarding cookies, sessions, etc.
The Apache log timestamps everything down to a 1 second resolution, but that's not fine enough granularity for our peak times.  What's the best way to capture more fine-grained timestamps for replay?  And is there some ab-like load generating program that can use this data to replicate load?
