4466.0. "FW, tri-home, Proxy Server, T1, & DHCP sizing?" by TENNIS::KAM (AltaVista Software 714/261-4133 DTN 535.4133) Mon Feb 10 1997 21:50

    I read the following threads on sizing firewalls.  However, we have a
    particular situation:
    
    	Customer, grammar school, will have 2000 clients and wants to know 
    if a AlphaServer 1000A will be sufficient.  On the firewall system will 
    be the following:
    
    	1] T1 at the Internet (RED Net)
    	2] They want the Firewall system to do DHCP for the 2000 clients
    	3] Support a Proxy Server, we've informed them that the FW already 
           has cache for the web proxy (question 4444.13).  We hope to 
     	   eliminate this
    	4] Support for Green net on the Firewall
    
    If you have any experiences that you can share we'd greatly appreciate
    it.
    
    	Regards,
