Yep, responsible for serving about 80 million requests per day.

I've been quite impressed -- it's never really been a hassle.  Nagios keeps
an eye on things, and we're running heartbeat on redundant machines to make
sure that even if something goes pop we're still covered.  Even with all
that, I can't think of a production failure (even non-customer-impacting)
that has definitely been Xen's fault.
