What is the current registration time you accept on the servers ? 3600 
?? One thing you can do to try this is set a number of devices to a much 
shorter registration period. This will effectively deliver just as many 
REGISTER commands so it can be used for a reasonable test.

We've used 10 phones at a registration time of 1 second to 'emulate'
  1200 phones at a registration time of 120 seconds. This will ofcourse 
not emulate the call volume, only the REGISTRERs (and perhaps OPTIONs).
