WebServer Spec and Configuration For 900 Daily Visitors

Hi Guys,
im looking for help on specing out a new server configuration, I'm looking for a server that will be able to handle 800 to 900 visitors a day, the webserver will host a website and some forms which will post and store its contents to a database.

What type of configuration would best suit, should I go with a single server that will host the form and database or go for a multi server set-up? can someone please recommend a good spec and architecture.

Thanks

Jay, the fact is that 900 visitors a day is not a ton of hits.  Given this -

How will you serve the page?  (Apache, IIS, other)
What will the content be?  (heavy flash, text, static, ASP, etc...)
What are the expectations?  (Five-9s uptime?  Low cost?  Redundancy?  Highly secure?)

The additional info should help.

thanks for the reply back.....

The server will be severing pages via IIS, there will be a mixture of ASPX pages and JSP pages. Database will be SQL server.

There will be flash animations and dynamically loaded text.

I want the server to be always on and be able to comfortably handle the 900 a day traffic volume.
