That is an accurate statement but sort of a side issue.
I would hazard a guess that ~95% of publicly reachable (i.e.
non-SSL-VPN) SSL certificate using servers would never see that amount
of traffic.
I am talking about the 5 or 10 IPv4 IPs you get with a $99/month
dedicated server, so that you can setup 5 or 10 different clients with a
shopping cart - Amazon and other large e-tailers have the ability to
buy/work around any shortage or bottleneck.
