      Hi all,
      We want to setup a pfsense with Haproxy for http/s load balancing on a dual 10/mbit (inside a hosting facility).
      What are the recommended CPU/RAM req's for this?
      I would like of course to have a passively cooled device is possible which means Atom , but I suppose it won't be enough?
      I tried multiple googling passes over haproxy hardware sizing guide and came up with nothing :(
      Any advice?

      Current network "hardware" :
      Running 2.2RC in Virtualbox 4.2.16.

      Retired:
      ALIX2C2 , 4 gigabyte disk cf card running 2.0 (official release).

        haproxy is lightweight, but it will depend on your traffic.

          Thanks for the reply

          I am thinking ~50000 http requests/s
          Would an atom be enough for that?
