hardware recommendations

[Ramish Patel <ramish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to build a load-balancing system for web service using lvs, 
which will be capable of handling a very high volume of visitors to the 
web sites. (Perhaps 80k per day, or more.)

I am looking for recommendations regarding hardware (processor type? 
multi-processor? best NICs to use, how much ram, etc.), and I would like 
to know also how much power (minumum) is required for each primary/backup 
node, and their (individual) traffic handling capabilities. Thank you!
