I have squid serving
Proxy-Karam-Main ~ # netstat -s|grep -i estab
41583 connections established
client_http.requests = 1364.257457/sec
client_http.kbytes_out = 16067.017328/sec
At peak time it reach 60-70K and sometimes even 208 Mbps. But it is serving
real customers, and not as accelerator. And many tuneups is done.
For offloading i recommend to try nginx. It works well for static content and
even work very good as fastcgi frontend.
