 So, security patched and up to date?

 I don't think so....

Nah, your assumption is incorrect. Netcraft reports "last reboot" and
"uptime" using a mixture of TCP Timestamps and pings, which won't give
you accurate results in this scenario.
www.baa.com seems to be two hosts that are serving requests in a
round-robin configuration.
In that configuration you'd be able to patch and reboot one machine at
a time without a loss of public service and with the "uptime" that is
being reported by Netcraft unaffected.

Hello Phil,

Aha! I see what you mean. Here is another well know site as reported by Netcraft:
