Well, my currnt LVS setup for the ad (banner) server is a pIII 700 Mobile
(Compaq bl10 technologie) with 512Mo RAM. It handles more than 25millions rq
per day, more than 1000rq/s burst. It is a DR setup so, not much bw. It is
also the director or about 40 other VIPs.

So, with modern technologies...

François.
