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.
