generate random source ip addresses

hi,
i am testing web servers that are sitting behind a hardware load balancer. the application that sits on the web servers requires persistence to be used on the load balancers.
in order for me to do a valid test i need multiple sourece ip addresses where the loads are generated from. we have two pro copies on 2 servers but i need to generate more source ip address loads. is it possible to do this for example the ip address of one load server is 192.168.1.5, can i someohow make the software generate load from a range of adresses from 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.20??

any help appreciated.
thanks
