just my 2 cents.
I was running NT proxy2.0 on a dell poweredge 350 MHZ, 128 meg, scsi
everything, 4gb web cache. The machine had SP4 and crashed once a week.
The stats for the web-cacheing were ok, but not great, so after a few
months of headaches, I blasted NT away and put on linux with squid-2.1
proxy server. Squid screams, you can parent-child caches (in other words
it can query and retrieve data from another squid proxy before it goes out
on the web). The proxy gets about 14,000 request per hour and does it in
1 non-blocking io process unlike netscape enterprise proxy server. Squid
is memory intensive though not processor intensive (the cpu is 99% idle
too), the more mem you have the better the performance. I am upgrading to
512 meg, and i'll run alot more services on it....
it was easy to compile, and easy to tune, it also has a cgi script where
you can view the stats over the web.
