Most reverse proxy setups I have seen in production peaks around 500 to
1500 requests/second of real life traffic depending on type of workload
on the site, how much the Squid code have been tuned and hardware.

Synthetic test workloads can get a lot higher with less work..

Note: Forward Internet proxying is generally much harder to handle than
reverse proxying as the diversity of the requests is much larger in
forward Internet proxies.
