The minimum is on the Microsoft web site for Windows Server 2003 and
Exchange Server 2003.

You're looking at an HP ProLiant DL360 / 380. Twin Processor, 2 or 4GB
memory and twin 26GB disks in a RAID1.
The FE doesn't do a great deal. The network is going to be busy and
the processor is going to be doing the SSL termination efforts.
