Wikipedia Super Site Setup

I tend to separate out infrastructures into two different beasts:  A site, and a super-site.  Super-sites get tremendous amounts of traffic (1 Gigabit+) and typically are associated with a brand, such as Amazon.com, Google.com, or what have you.

On Slashdot today was a posting about the infrastructure for the super-site Wikipedia.  And what load balancer do they use?  Why, Linux Virtual Server of course.
