It seems they are drawing results from around 30 resources, Im guessing Bing is the dominant here.
They do mention they also have their own crawler....
http://duckduckgo.com/duckduckbot.html
It may be as time goes by they may develop and rely on that crawler more.
From their website....Where do you get your results?
From over 30 sources, including DuckDuckBot (our own crawler), crowd-sourced sites (in our own index), Yahoo! BOSS, embed.ly, WolframAlpha, EntireWeb, Bing & Blekko.
Any idea how many servers their using to power all this?
