 From whom, having what resources at his disposal? What resources are at 
*your* disposal?

You can encrypt and reroute *traffic*, but not make it vanish entirely. 
If your adversary can measure the bandwidth going to the server, and has 
a good idea of what the *average* traffic going through one connection 
is, he can trivially *estimate* the *number* of connections happening. 
If you need to avoid that, you need (lots of) *other* traffic going to 
you(?) to try and hide *amongst*.

... you mean, like what a VPN (to a central peer at the same site as the 
final server, and ideally many more servers) does ... ?
