Nothing fancy, but it might work. I'd like a 1U solution, but if this
fits the bill, it is something I definitely could work with.
I priced a Dell Power Edge 750, with a 2.4ghz, 512mb RAM, 40gig drive,
1U for about $500. If I can avoid that, I will though so i can save some
cash.
both should be enough, however I'd advise a bit more RAM for both cases,
expecially if you are going to do more than just proxying there.
The CPU is not that important, unless you have large ACL lists and can't
optimize them, or don't do _hard_ content filtering.
I'd prefer the first configuration and it should be enough for squid and
filters too.
I just double checked the first configuration here.
1.8ghz CPU
1.5gig DDR RAM.
80 gig IDE Drive (although, curious enough, FreeBSD only sees 33gigs of
it.)
Anyway, I might go with that solution. Nothing fancy, but shoud
suffice.I may try and build a similar box for backup purposes.
BTW, anyone here use additional plugins for web/content filtering?
Something like:

http://dansguardian.org
I need something to block against all the spyware crap that can
instantly be installed on users machines. Drives me nutz.
Thanks,
