Do you think you will be able to install and maintain the equipment when you do not even know what to buy?

Also you expect somebody to work all this out for you free of charge?

This is more an art than a science. There are really to many unknown factors.I think the right way to do this would probably be to buy one server and conduct load balancing tests on that server to create benchmark where performance degrades. You than take that number and divide it into 20K to approximate the number of servers and load balancers necessary.
