it's not really entirely based on the hardware specs of your proxy because there are other things to watch out for like os tuning, network tuning, network bottleneck elsewhere like dns delay. im sure you wont get an accurate answer. my suggestion is watch closely to know if its scaling well enough for your needs. just add another proxy if it chokes. xedx xedx [at] i.keepsilent.net -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
