Oh I get that this is the key fact, I put a smiley in there because I was fishing for a more exact number that is unlikely to be given :)
Thanks for your answer. Its a very neat setup. (My intuition is that its not a case of if but when, but you've probably won yourself quite a bit of time until that happens)

The honest truth is that I actually don't know how many servers we have because it's not a number that I have to worry about.
I do know that floor(log_10(#servers)) = 2.
If that were to happen (and I think it's a big "if" because of the complexity of predicting what will throw it off given that the attacker doesn't know the code we are running) then we'd see the WAF latency increase and alarms would be generated immediately. That, in turn, would cause a bunch of other mechanisms to come into play.
