Use at least 4 disks and stripe them after creating on each one a swap
partition :) One Disk for the System and 3 for the Proxy :)

64MB looks ok we were running a 64MB proxy for 512 simultaneous
connections for a year or so and the speed was ok :)

Same goes here. One Disk for the System, One for Var and /usr/local, tmp
in MFS (swapspace) and at least 64MB RAM to handle the mail and BIND
stuff will do for ca. 100 customers.

CPU does not matter much in that scenario.
