Wcarchive is currently getting about 400,000 hits/day. It does this while handling an average of about 900 simultaneous FTP users. All of this combined results in an average of about 20Mbits/sec of outbound traffic in the daytime. The WWW stuff is actually a very small portion of the overall CPU and network load - perhaps 10% of it, so one should be able to do >1M hits/day even with just a few T1's. A Pentium/133 with 64MB should do nicely for such an application, but that's just a guess. I have it on good authority that a certain major FreeBSD-using WWW search engine/index is doing several million hits/day with a machine not too dissimilar to this (although it's a 166)...so it's possible. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
