How do high traffic sites service more than 65535 TCP connections?

How do high traffic sites service more than 65535 TCP connections?

If there is a limit on the number of ports one machine can have and a
socket can only bind to an unused port number, how do servers experiencing
extremely high amounts (more than the max port number) of requests handle
this? Is it just done by making the system distributed, i.e., many servers
on many machines?
