So, does anyone know if the official Masters website (www.masters.org
<http://www.masters.org/> ) is running on an i? It is 'Powered by IBM'.

The Webserver indicated, as Mark Allen already said, is
IBM_HTTP_Server. Together with the information that the machine runs
sshd, it is most probable that it is running a unix-based operating
system (you can run sshd on i5/OS, but it is not used for
administration).

Supported Unix-ish platforms for IBM_HTTP_Server are: AIX, HP-UX, Linux

So it is most likely that the machine runs Linux (nmap's OS guessing
is good, but not always 100% on).

It could still run on a System i, but it seems unlikely. Webservers
are usually scaled horizontally, with many x86 boxes.
