Thanks for the numbers they are very helpful.

Probably <500 cache hits per second (a large portion of the content isn't cacheable).

So I should be able to serve that from a fairly low spec machine.

I should probably add that those boxes have an improbably low load. 500 hits / second out of varnish ? Do you have a spare laptop lying around, could be an old one? ;)

One good way to test is to replay a days worth of log files.
