Juniper and Cisco have products based on FreeBSD. In the former case, almost all of their product line. That is why they are listed in the top section "FreeBSD is used as a platform for devices and products from many of the world's largest IT companies, including:". We don't claim anything about what OS they use as a webserver, if they even run their own webservers. Only the second list makes any claim about what operating system companies use for their web server, such as 163.com and sony.co.jp. They can be hidden behind a CDN or other issues that make it more difficult to determine. It doesn't strictly mean that the front end component is running FreeBSD. Still, if we have no evidence we shouldn't be claiming it. I don't know anything about NetEast / 163.com anyway, and am not sure how prominent of a site this really is. If it appears those two sites no longer run FreeBSD then we should remove them from this list and thank you for bringing this up. - Murray
