Hardware Recomendations

[Vasiliy Boulytchev <vasiliy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gents,
   I have a new cluster to build for our single web application.  Web 
app is running php/mysql in the background.
   Would really like to hear what everyone has to say about hardware 
requirements for the loadbalancer.  The environment will be NAT, which 
naturally adds more strain on the balancer.  Would you say that a dual 
P4, with 2GB ram would do the job for 100K concurrent connections?  Or 
should we look at something like Alteon or Cisco?
   What are your expreriences? :)

THANKS GUYS!

PS  also in #linux-ha, lets chat :)
