You forgot to attach the console log of the second client so my response
cannot be precise. However, please note that

- your workload contains three client hosts (.45, .46, and .47) 
- according to your email, you are using two client hosts
- your peak request rate for the Bench is only enough for one host
  (each PolyMix-4 client host does up to 500/sec by default)

All of the above have to be in-sync for the PolyMix-4 math to work. You
can customize the workload to use many other combinations, but PolyMix
guts and addressing schemes require that the three items above match.

Polygraph did try to warn you about the discrepancy, but the generic
warning is not very clear:

> 000.01| fyi: the number of virtual agent addresses (76) is not divisible by the number of real host addresess (3); will not attempt to create agent addresses

A correct PolyMix setup will not have that warning.

HTH,
