server benchmark

server guru > benchmarks?
Hi, I'm doing a benchmark using apachebench of my server. Which results do you take notice of - the results when running the benchmarks from the server, or when running them from a local comp (ie over a network)? I'm trying to work out how many requests the server can handle before coming to a halt. The server comes back with 764 for a particular page and my my local comp says 6.
Thanks
A request from a remote machine will use more CPU etc than a request from the localhost, so i would assume it would be best to run it from a remote box querying the the box.
