dig,

a quick search gave me this. Don't know how accurate it is but it may give you a rough idea of the number of seats in the DOD alone.

"On 20 April 2010 at the RSA Conference, CNET News reported that “Robert Lentz, chief information assurance officer for the Department of Defense, said the agency is attempting to protect 15,000 networks, 7 million computers, and 1.1 billion Defense Department Internet users worldwide. There are 360 million probes targeted at Defense Department networks each day, compared to the 1 million probes an average major U.S. bank gets per month.” This number dwarfs even the newer, higher number of 6 million “probes” identified by Alexander on June 3."
