A recent squid deployment i made was evaluated to handle 300 dialup clients. This basically was
2xP3 933Mhz 2GB RAM 100MBps LAN 4x36GB SCSI HDs. The box was running the latest 2.4 kernel at the time and used reiserfs running with the notail,noatime,nodiratime mount options. squid ICP was turned off and logging was disabled. You can't pretty much squeeze any more out of the box after that. On Fri, 13 Feb 2004, Jopoy C.
