    From what I've seen, the load is not so much data size as number of hits. If you did all that data with five hits per day, you could pretty much run it on a 100Mhz machine. {grin}

    I'm running http://www.stonehenge.com with a reverse-caching proxy, using Apache for the "thin" front end to handle cached and a bit of static data, proxying through to a mod_perl enabled Apache for the "thick" back end. I'm very happy with this arrangement, because it gives me a lot of room to define caching policies and static data policies.
