OKAY, By now we seem to have discussed about 16GB of memory can indeed be accessed on modern servers.
Now I think we should focuss on the requirements of original problem...Abhishek's further inputs are awaited eagerly.
Meantime, can we decide upon the server configuration, I mean, is 16GB really worth spending for a proxy server?
I think we need some more inputs from the Abhishek, mainly -> What is the outgoing line (T1, ADSL, Ethernet...) -> What is the incoming network (10Mbps, 100Mbps, Dialup(seems unlikely)...) -> What is the current infrastructure available (layout of switches, machines,..)) -> What is the budget -> what is the maximum likely number of users connecting at once
