How active are the sites? How complicated is the "proxy" configuration? Are the Proxies an SSL termination point? Server uptime: 50 days 3 hours 56 minutes 39 seconds Total accesses: 36316506 - Total Traffic: 1544.5 GB CPU Usage: u468.16 s2336.35 cu0 cs0 - .0647% CPU load 8.38 requests/sec - 373.7 kB/second - 44.6 kB/request Hardware: Virtual Machine with 1G of ram. Really isn't working hard at all Overview: -) 2 major backend applications -) Generally load balanced between 2 backend web servers -) rewriting is being done for the one application -) the Proxy/Load Balancer is being used for SSL termination for one of the major applications (the application is almost 100% SSL). Each site is different and there are many variables. benji Benji Spencer System Administrator Moody Bible Institute Phone: 312-329-2288 Fax: 312-329-8961 > -----Original Message----- > From: Alexandru David Constantinescu [mailto:aldavx@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 3:20 AM > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: hardware for proxy > > Hello to all > > I plan to implement a proxy server for apache.
