Sebastian,

Yes and no. It shows what your institution - sorry ain't seen what is
used just picking :-) - in its infinite corporate wisdom has chosen as its
main front end server.
Surely ... the bigger and older the University the more diversified it
will be and the more web servers it will have (academic freedom,
departmental independence, central services never do as good a job,
plenty of reasons for it). What is interesting for example is that 30 odd
percent are using M$ virus magnet.
Brian's data are more useful for a time-series analyses than just using
them to really understand what is happening now.

If anyone knows how I could obtain a list of www servers of HEIs ...
give me a hint. Could keep Brian busy and quiet for a few months.
