Setting up a Dedicated Server

Hello,

 

I have searched the forums and found some interesting reading but not really an answer.

 

I have several clients who use OSC and until recently I have had them on shared servers. Recently we decided to get a dedicated server for just our clients. Most (95%+) use OSC for a site. Well now as I learn dedicated servers I am baffled by the old persistant connection or not issue.

 

I was hoping someone who had some knowledge of servers could help me.

 

Should I allow persistant connections?

 

Should I enable them for my osc clients?

 

If yes what should I limit it to and what time duration?

 

What are the benifets? Is OSC faster and/or more stable using them?

 

Are PC better or worse for serve load?

 

And is there example of numbers - maybe say a site using 1000 items w/ 2000 visitors a day. and 100 to 200 accounts on the server - or is that to much etc...

 

The server is:

 

Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz w/ HT

1 GB Ram

Dual Drives w/ RAID 1

100Mbps Uplink and good network (at a major datacenter)

Bandwidth should be no problem as it is 1500GB/mo

 

Any advise or suggestions whould be greatly appreciated.
