Well, as of October 2009 public information on the topic has that they 
were running 30,000 servers.  Strikes me that doing that with a mere 
4,096 address shows significant restraint and thriftiness.  Are you sure 
they don't have more addresses than a mere /20?  They are one of the 
larger destinations on the Internet, you know.
