The only thing I know, comparing to what we've got at work, is that you
need a lot of disk space and they should be fast disks! And I guess you
need a lot of memory on the machine too. Look at
http://cache.is.co.za/squid/

This is what I read at the FAQ:

In late 1998, if you are buying a new machine for a cache, I would
recommend the following configuration: 

     300 MHz Pentium II CPU 
     512 MB RAM 
     Five 9 GB UW-SCSI disks 

     Your system disk, and logfile disk can probably be IDE
     without losing any cache performance.
