Each site is different and there are many variables.

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hardware for proxy
Hello to all
I plan to implement a proxy server for apache. The idea is to act like
a
firewall, proxy , load balancer and cache. It must serve around 2000
sites. The backend servers I don't know for now how many will be, but I
am prepare to start with 2 or 3 and in case of heavy load , increase
this number. My question is what hardware do you recommend for proxy.
do
I need fast cpu's or lots of core's. In terms of ram the things are
clear : apache need ram. Do you recommend scsi or sata disks etc ?
If someone have experience or suggestions please give me a sign.
Thanks
Alex

hello Ben
Ther is no SSL involve what so ever.
The sites are very active (it is a share hosting environment and this is
the reason why I wanna try the proxy) and beside that we plan to expand.
We have between 50~300 reqs/sec (depend on time of the day) with around
10~20 kb/reqs and this is not the busiest server. Probably we need
something to hold around 5000 reqs/sec like a frontend.
