Hardware for large organization

        We are planning to install Squid as a proxy server for a large, 40,000
user network. Currently, during the day at least, our T3 has about 7-10
mbs going through it. We have at least 15,000 concurrent connections as
well.
        I'm curious as to what kind of hardware we need for this proxy server.
I'm thinking of getting a Dell Poweredge with dual 450's and 1/2 to 1
gig of ram, and 20 gigs of raid5, scsi storage.
        Am what we are planning overkill or not enough? Will one server be
sufficient for our load? Thank you for insight.
