Re: Question for DHCP Server on Squid Proxy Server

It depends how many machines are likely to be in use at once, the speed of
the internal LAN, and the speed of the uplink. DHCP barely uses any
resources anyway, it's the disk space & RAM I'd worry about if you've a
slow uplink. That said, I used to proxy about 25 machines through a
Sparc1+/28M on 10Mbit, with 10Mbit "uplink".
