        Might be possible if using some real powerful hardware, like an SGI box
with many processors (SGI's are really good at throwing a lot of bytes
through any I/O channel) or maybe a multiCPU Alpha.
        But i have a better idea: just install 8...10 x86 boxes, all of them
running Squid, and put a Linux Virtual Server in front of them all. I tried
this, it works outstandingly.
        If you need more power, just add some more x86 systems. LVS will virtualize
the service.
        I suggest to use the Direct Routing implementation of the Virtual Server,
because it offers the highest performance.
