For the range of 20Mbit I would use a cluster of 3 fairly normal boxes with 4 harddrives each (ATA or SCSI). Memory scaled according to cache size. 2 boxes actaually would handle the load fine, and it may even be possible to build a single high end box which can handle the load, but having 3 smaller boxes gives better performance and increased flexibility (you can take one box offline for upgrade/maintenance while still maintaining the full service level). -- Henrik Nordstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MARA Systems AB, Sweden
