Please note that there will only be one client connecting to the web-server. I guess (if we can't get a separate dump machine), it would be better to dump on the client machine, than on the server machine where the disk will probably be active.

OTOH, I'm not sure what kind of information would be interesting to us from a packet dump in this case?

If we could coordinate things with the crew at the hosting site, it
would be interesting to capture all of the packets between the server
and clients during the test.  There are some tools in wireshark that
would be useful for analyzing the results of the test.  For best
performance you'd want to have a separate system capturing traffic that
was being mirrored by the switch.  Second best would be to dump the
packet captures to the web server's disk, but I would think that the I/O
caused by that would affect the test.
