Its really not possible to 'pass it on'. The server environment was an AMD Dual-Core Opteron with 500GB SATA HD space (RAID 5 configuration) and 4 GB ECC-Registered ram. It was running VMware server and SuSe Linux v10.1 x64-bit edition.
The main issues were the active numbers of script kiddies that were attacking the site via ssh and ftp attacks [on a daily basis (average around 15k hits a day)] and the amount of spam-like email having Spamassassin and F-Protect to check and clean as well. I was able to block a number of subnets in Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe, but when in-states site were compromised, it pretty much made the overseas subnet blocks redundant.
Then after blocking and dealing with all these attacks, the hardware router finally ate itself. After that point, I was getting tired of keeping the hosting business going and trying to run my SMB business site as well.
