Even if Sambar only __we're__ a proxy, this comment is a bogus, as "George
Bush is smart".
It may apply to NAT, where each socket takes a few 100k and and you can't
use more that 40000 sockets anyway, which would be say 2000 simultanious
users.
For a cacheing proxy - even if it didn't have it's own built-in memory cache,
the OS would cache read files in memory.
If your average traffic daily traffic is 2GB, get 3GB of RAM and you'll have
almost no disk activity...
