Hello, I need to put together one or more FreeBSD systems to act as caching proxies for about 1500-2000 users for an ISP. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding hardware or software to run to get the best performance. I haven't done this before (caching proxy), but I hope to learn quickly. I''ve heard that Apache with Harvest can be used on the software side, but I have no clue as to what is involved yet. On the hardware side, has anyone had success/problems with some of the Pentium Pro 200 systems? I was thinking 1-2 PPro200's's w/2-4 SCSI HD's in each would handle the load. Thanks for any ideas, warnings, suggestions, etc. Aaron --=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=-- Aaron D. Gifford InfoWest, 1845 W.
