Is it possible...
I just started looking at JMeter. I'm wondering if I can feed JMeter a
list of URLs (or parameters to be fed to one URL), have JMeter retrieve
the result, and run embedded code (an .swf container that calls an .xml
file, and the XML contains other objects to be downloaded for that one
particular project).

Yes, it does! Thanks!
I started to get some useful results. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to
have to gang a few machines together to get any really meaningful
results. Are there any gotchas to setting up a group of machines like
that?

the way the access log works is this.
1. the sampler opens the log file
2. it parses a single line and produces a request
3. the sampler uses the request and sends it to the server
4. repeat steps 1-3
when multiple threads are used, the sampler will get the next request from
the parser. the sampler can be configured to stop at the end of the file or
start at the beginning again.

hope that helps

No, there is no login.
Here's the basic idea... the browser starts a SWF, which is a container
for a banner ad. Inside the container, an XML file is downloaded. The
XML file contains the URLs of other objects that are included in the
ad... images, text, video, sound, etc.
How do I find out what are the "errors" that are being reported in
Aggregate Report?
I would assume that the Access Log Sampler would just "play" what's in
the access_log. What correlation could the number of users/loops have
to do with that? If I specify more users than 1, does it try to run
through the whole access_log that many times at once?

if the webpages need to login, make sure you add the auth manageer and
cookie manager to your test plan. it would be helpful to get a general
description of what the test needs to do

Sweet!
After playing with that a little, though, I'm puzzled by the results I'm
getting. I grabbed about 24 hours of logs to use. That averages about
4 hits per second, from about .5 hps to about 9 hps. I looked at
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/jmeter_accesslog_sampler_step_by_step.pdf
and it seemed pretty straightforward. Running one loop with one user
generates, according to the Aggregate Report, 1 error.
Oooohhhkaaayyy... adding users and loops just generates more errors.
Since there's obviously something pretty important missing from that
step-by-step PDF... what do I need to do to get it to actually start to
duplicate what's in that access_log? What do I tell JMeter for users
and loops? How do I tell JMeter to add more concurrent connections?
Also, I fiddled with the Graph Results listener a little. I can't find
any documentation on how to interpret the results. Average / Median /
Deviation / Throughput... of what? Raw bandwidth?

jmeter has the accesslog sampler, which can take production access logs and
use that to generate requests
