There is an option to use the same IP for all clients, if you set e.g.
192.168.6.0 to the configuration file , it will be shared
by all virtual clients of curl-loader

Sure. Y need to add a routing rule both at server and at clients or default
gateways.
Sometimes, curl-loader can change the routing settings as well.
Please, consult your networking people.

How if I use only ONE PC (as the server also as the client). is the result
will describe my web werver performance as same as the 2 PC in use?

It depens on what your server is doing, how much clients you are running etc
...

Just fix the routing between client and server and it will work.
