i recommend JMeter. We use that to do load testing on a search server. of course you have to provide a reasonable set of queries as input... if you don't have any then a reasonable estimation based on your expected traffic should suffice. JMeter can be used for other load testing too..
Be careful though.. as silly as this may sound.. do NOT just issue random queries because that won't exercise your caches... We had a load test that killed our servers because our caches kept getting blown out. Of course the traffic being generated was purely random was not representative of real world traffic which usually has more predictable behavior. hope that helps!
