Flood Configuration Design
----------------------------------------


Multitplicity Configuration:

This includes remote invocation, and parallel instantiation (forking
and threading).


Example XML:

<host>
  <hostname>foo.ebuilt.net</hostname>
  <proto>ssh</proto>
  <username>foouser</username>
  <password>l33th4x0r</password>
  <worker>
    <workercount>10</workercount>
    <repeatcount>100</repeatcount>
    <profilename>Bob</profilename>
  </worker>
</host>

<host>
  <hostname>bar.ebuilt.net</hostname>
  <description>Some FreeBSD Box</description>
  <proto>rsh</proto>
  <worker>
    <workercount>10</workercount>
    <profilename>Alice</profilename>
  </worker>
</host>


User Profile Definition:

A User Profile is a model of a a particular user or type of user.
It can also be seen as a Use Case.

Example XML:

<profile>
  <name>Bob</name>
  <description>Bob likes yahoo</description>
  <url>
     <uri>http://foo.com/</uri>
     <verify>
       <module>libgrep.so</module>
       <expect>It works!</expect>
     </verify>
  </url>
  <url>http://foo.net/</url>
  <url>http://foo.org/</url>
  <url>http://bar.com/</url>
  <url>http://bar.net/</url>
  <url>http://bar.org/</url>
  <logfile>bob.log</logfile>
  <proxy>http://netcrash:3128</proxy>
  <enablecookies>
  <roundrobin> (or <sequence>, <random>, <randomweighted>)
  <delay>
    <random>
      <min>5 seconds</min>
      <max>10 seconds</max>
    </random>
  </delay>
  <verify>
    <module>lib200ok.so</module>
  </verify>
</profile>

<profile>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <description>Alice visits ebay</description>
  <cernlog>alice.common_log</cernlog>
