Hi,

I would buy more cache drives (assuming you going to be using the SSD
for this - change the 300gig drives to 146gig's to save some money,
heck, you can even change it to a mirror set of 72gig, it's only the
OS). I won't mess with the default settings since Squid is pretty tuned
as it is. I have ran 6000 connections thru boxes smaller than that, way
smaller. The only time I would change those settings is when you need to
force more caching out of it.

I would also research the disk to memory caching formula on the Squid
wiki (work out how much memory X gig on disk cache needs). More that
this I can't offer without more input from you, otherwise I might as
well deploy the box.

Cheers,

Pieter
