It depends entirely on your proposed environment, but most current(ish)
machines will suffice with oodles of room to spare. The FAQ states that
it's possible to saturate 100Mbps ethernet with quite a basic system.

Almost certainly.

Are you expecting more than 1Mbps of outbound traffic? What level of
inbound traffic do you expect, and how much inbound bandwidth do you
have? What outbound bandwidth do your realservers have? Do they share
the same pipe?

I think you'll find that pipe is your bottleneck. 1Mbps doesn't buy you
much these days.
