2400 is the number of servers on the external IP address. I'll assume they run a NAT (laymen: a network of computers) and so I don't know how many sites are hosted on the same machine... BUT I know it's not alone. And that was my point.
Which hosts use NAT on web servers?

I expect it will become commonplace as the IP registries crack down on flagrant allocations (eg people paying $1/IP/mo so they can put their 30 sites on a single IP each) but I haven't actually seen it in practice yet...
