they cost us about $700, and never had one give us a bit of trouble in

While I haven't seen their software, the traditional reason to use a Sun
box over something x86 is that an application is IO-bound as opposed to
CPU bound. In this case, HTTP proxying sounds a lot like an IO-bound
application hence the Sun box.
