	I can't speak for Yahoo, but servers are very often ran in
much different manner by the major players than the likes of us run
them. This is not an area in which I possess much expertise however
I've long been aware of, for example, outsourced solutions which
make it possible to greatly increase the number of sites hosted on a
server. There was an article in WebHosting Magazine, which is on the
web and the article is more than likely archived, just a few months
back in which solutions that make it quite easy to double and more
the number of sites that can be hosted on a server.
