Three separate questions here:
Q1: how many virtual IPs can you put on a FreeBSD box?
A1: More than 5,000 (that is as high as anyone has bothered to test.)
Q2: What load can a P133/64MB cope with?
A2: Well, other significant factors are disk type/speed and CPU L2 cache
size. However, a 486-66 can sustain a load of about 5 conn/sec, so
you are really looking at > 10 conn/sec, 600 conn/min, 36,000 conn/hour.
Q3: What load can a 128kbps ISDN ?
A3: 128kbps == 16kBytes/sec. Since the average Web document is about
15kBytes, you should be able to sustain a load of 1 conn/sec.
Note that the capabilities of the P133 are *much* greater than the 128k link.
Most of my customers' virtual servers get between 5,000 and 30,000
connections per month: less than 100 per hour.

Danny
