Hi gurus,

talking about experience, looking into the documentation I came up to
this:

Up to 500 users
Single ISA Server computer with Pentium II, 300 MHz     
256Mb RAM
2-4 Gigabytes Cache

500-1,000 users
Single ISA Server computer with two Pentium III, 550 MHz processors
256Mb RAM 10 Gigabytes Cache

More than 1,000 users
Two ISA Server computers, each with Pentium III, 550 MHz, processors
256Mb RAM for each server 10 Gigabytes for each server

I'm planning to deploy a firewall with caching capabilities for 650
users and 3 web servers with less than 100 hits/sec. The problem is that
the customer has only a one processor ISA license, but a Intex XEON 2GHZ
server with 1GB RAM and 32GB disk available. I truly fell this will
handle the job very well, but how can I be sure? Should I recommend a
second server?

Thanks

Daniel
