If I want to test a load balancer/web server in a 
quick-and-dirty-and-free way, I use apache bench.  It's a command line 
utility included with Apache.  You can usually find it in the same 
directory as apachectl.  It's included with the Windows binary 
distribution you get from the Apache site.

I don't think it gets quite as granular as you're looking, but it does 
give a few really nice stats when you throw it at a web server/load 
balancer.
