Official PS3 games use Sony's dedicated servers. A lot of 3rd party games use either P2P style connection or their own servers.
I'm hoping IL2 BoP will make use of these bad boys as P2P style hosting is awful.
Yes those are racks of PS3s!

I don't think that's necessarily true. Just because there is a host option, doesn't mean
you are hosting it. You could be configuring a server. In Battlefield 1943 I can 'host' a private game. I'm not hosting it. The dedicated server is. Admittedly, you need to fill it though, so that you don't cane off all the servers with small 4 man games.
EDIT:
even CoD4 uses servers on PS3
"The only real issue is that the servers we're getting hit really hard, especially with the launch in Europe doubling that traffic, just something that requires optimising on the server side and we've been working with the PSN COD4 Server team from the moment it started having issues assisting any way we can to help them get them up to speed faster."
