I miss my VAX. But I don’t think it could handle this load.

If you want to invest in a real workhorse of a server, may I humbly recommend a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440. They are scalable to become quite a monster, as needed. But they can be pricey.

As someone once said: If you need to serve dozens of users, use a Windows server. If you need to serve hundreds or thousands, use a Sun.
