It depends on load of your cache server.
We uses for regional cache server in Chernogolovka (Scientific Center in
Chernogolovka campus, ~ 1000 computers, mean 1500-2000 requests per hour,
3000-4000 request/hour in peak time) Pentium/120 with 32MB RAM, 2GB HDD
(we suppose to increase disk space in the nearest future) and FreeBSD.
And thys system works fine.
