I wasn't aware that Hotbot was running NT however I wasn't really looking
neither..:)  I wouldn't say that Windows NT can't handle high loads of traffic...
just not as much or as well as a good Apache server on FreeBSD...<smiles>

My guess is that they are running a large cluster of servers acting as one or via
round robin DNS.
