Best way to emulate number of requests cap

[ck128]

Hi all:
I want to write a very simple web service that just
reads 1 XML file and serves it out to emulate the real web
service. However I know the real web service used in
production will have a request limit cap at serving 5
requests per second.
Is there any way I can emulate this performance cap
in my simple WS (even though it probably can do much more
since it's so simple). I know I can put sleep threads,
but that just delays time. Maybe I can set some kind of
counter?
This would be IIS 6 running on Windows 2003 Server,
VS 2003. Anything in ACT for this?

Pleaes advice and thanks in advance for any
suggestions.

You can use the "Application Test Center" to simulate SOAP requests. Start a
new project, record a new test and browse to your web service. Then fill out
some test values and press the submit button. When you're finished you can
set the number of "clients" you want to simulate.
