Hello,
if it could help, my HP9000 L1000 (pa-risc 350) is used for those services :

- squid + squidguard + mysql_auth
-bind9 public view and slave intranet view
- a small intranet apache2 server with php5 and LDAP (which 
enable/disable Internet Access in classrooms)

No need for ruby.

It works great and very stable. Even if I have "unaligned access" 
warnings with mysql client library calls.

it runs actuallay in etch. It would be great if it was still supported 
by debian team.
