A setup of 2 medium sized servers (PIII or P4), 512MB ram and 4 IDE drives or 2 SCSI drives each whould be quite suitable for this I think, but it would be interesting to know the amount of concurrent HTTP connections as well as the HTTP requests/s over that connections as this is the main parameters needed for scaling. For Squid it is more efficient to go for several not very big servers than one powerful big one. Such design is also easier to maintain and less error prone as you do not have a single point of failure. Regards Henrik
