[squid-users] what do i need to get the job done, performance squid

Hello list,

i'm interested in some numbers other people have when using squid as a
cache proxy.

Our setup will be 5000 concurrent users surfing on the web.
I have a dl380 g5 with 8 10k rpm disks and 32GB ram

Would that be sufficient or should i run two squid's on that box (using
more cpu's)
Or should i use two boxes.

are 5000 concurrent users a lot are do other people have more users

Which version off squid should i use (2.7 3.0 3.1)

With kind regards

kc
