2000 servers? My god. Aren't most blog posts just static pages or generated static pages? A good html cache setup should help a lot.

They can't possibly mean 2000 of the beefy servers described as being the load-balancers, or it wouldn't be impressive at all. But it's very frustrating that the article gives the specs of the load balancers without saying how many of them they need.
