The idea is to act like a firewall, proxy , load balancer and cache. It must serve around 2000 sites. The backend servers I don't know for now how many will be, but I am prepare to start with 2 or 3 and in case of heavy load , increase this number. My question is what hardware do you recommend for proxy. do I need fast cpu's or lots of core's. In terms of ram the things are clear : apache need ram. Do you recommend scsi or sata disks etc ? If someone have experience or suggestions please give me a sign.

hello Ben Ther is no SSL involve what so ever.The sites are very active (it is a share hosting environment and this is the reason why I wanna try the proxy) and beside that we plan to expand. We have between 50~300 reqs/sec (depend on time of the day) with around 10~20 kb/reqs and this is not the busiest server. Probably we need something to hold around 5000 reqs/sec like a frontend.
