Squid should be able to handle that kind of load easily though.
How many computers are making connections to this machine?
I have a single 266 with 384 MB ram hosting squid and file services for
about 100 machines who are on all day long. It does get a little banged up,
but keeps on going.
Also, have you looked at Dans-guardian? You might benefit from this and the
cost is very low. Support is good as well.
Thanks
