I would put a couple of Dell 1650 single Xeon 1 GB memory.
You could just load balance with round robin on your firewall or at the DNS
level.  I my experience a few small web servers will do better than one
large one.   Just my 2 cents.

Subject: [IMail Forum] OT Equipment Requirements


At the company I work for we have a lot of small Web sites running. None of
them gets more than 5,000 hits per day. Now one of the partners wants us to
run one that could have up to 500,000 hits per day. Supposedly all of the
pages on this new site will be static HTML pages, PDFs and such. There may
be some Flash or clickable maps but supposedly that's it.

Can anyone provide assistance on what type of equipment may be required. I
currently have as my web server a Dell Poweredge 4600 with dual Xeon 2.0
processors and 2 GB memory. I also have a 3Mb Internet connection and a PIX
520 firewall.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hank
