It is possible to serve pages (no more than one hit per 3-10 seconds) with that hardwares?
Should be. I think years ago Apache could saturate a 10Mbit network with a 486; yours should surely be capable of handling a few requests per second.
The problem will be with complex pages. You'll have to avoid doing complex ZCatalog queries, for example, on the homepage or that little 486 will be CPU bound. Relatively static pages should be OK. I know it's starting to get hard to find, but I'd recommend scrounging around for some more memory. You may have some other old machines lying around that you can pillage. Well, this shouldn't be a problem. The orginal poster mentioned that he intends to use the Linux 486 only as a reverse proxy, and this should be ok.
Although look at http://www.apsis.ch/pound, this might be more lightweigth. Andreas
