Default UFP Capacity - how much Websense traffic can CP handle?
We've got a particularly busy site - roughly 15,000 users, over 1000 HTTP requests per second, and roughly 40Mb of Internet bandwidth used by HTTP requests during peak.

We're running NGX HFA3 on Nokia IP560 appliances in VRRP. They currently have 1GB of RAM, we're already working on an additional upgrade to bring the total to 2GB.

We currently use proxies to make Websense calls, but that solution is having problems. I've been tasked to look at UFP from the firewalls to Websense but I'm not hearing positive things about capacity.

CP says most companies with infrastructure this large use proxies or a "bridge mode" of Websense. BlueCoat is touting an appliance with Websense built-in.

Reading this forum, I'm already seeing UFP issues that are above and beyond the capacity of the hardware.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
