Agree for Juniper world MX40 would probably do you fine. But at 10Gbps and
"a few thousand" subscribers I'd be tempted to knock up something on Linux
and see how it goes for you.
Maybe beta something with a portion of your subscribers? Grow it if it's
successful.

You wouldn't be the only person in the world to scale by throwing more
7301's at the problem either, to be honest. Perhaps a cheap stop-gap while
you decide on long term way forward. Set a session limit for each box at a
point you are comfortable with etc.. :)
