Test for Frontend SPOF

[sajal]

I was quite fascinated when i read about Frontend SPOF. Had a basic idea earlier but this made me more aware.

A nice to have feature for pagetest would be to test for this. While making tests, I would like to specify how certain urls and/or hostnames should behave.

The behavior could be one of the following :-

• Inject a specified lag
• Make the DNS lookup timeout
• 404 these hosts/urls
• 500 error to these hosts/urls
• make them stall forever until browsers default timeout reaches
  

As i understand at the moment you are only observing the packets... but hacking the connection would be nice feature addon
