Depends on how efficient the load generation tool is vs how much work on the server side is required to handle the request. You can also pin those two processes to different CPU core sets. This way one computer is enough to get meaningful results. Obviously if your don't know what you're doing, it is better to use two separate machines.
Ya in this case the server is quite simple and doesn't need too much resource that might explain why I got similar results from both. I would be interested in learning more about pinning process to cores. Do you have any resource you can recommend?
