In my organization we are planning to install heavy forwarders for some domains. What are the hardware requirements for heavy forwarders? 

What is the ratio of servers to heavy forwarder?

See this for HW requirement reference for Heavy forwarder: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.2/Capacity/Referencehardware#Recommended_hardware_f...

Number of heavy forwarders will depend on lot of parameters, amount of data coming in, Availability requirement, types of app install etc. You can get in touch with your Splunk Engagement manager for getting correct guidance.
