Especially one like Rackspace which claims to have over 50,000 Web servers. 
They don't say how many are: (1) virtual hosts in a single Apache instance, 
separate Apache instances on a single server, separate Apache instances on 
unique Linux/Windows hosts under VMWare or the like, or on a dedicated machine. 
But I can imagine a z running a lot of Apache and/or Tomcat servers on z/Linux 
under z/VM.
