We use SSI in a lot of our sites, but that's not what I'd consider a dynamic page
in the sense it's being used here. On one site we have maybe 50 "real" pages on
the site that generate upwards of 6000 various pages depending on what you select
from various menus. The search engines will try to index those (bringing the
server to its knees in the process) and may or may not actually index all of them.
If you have a database behind your pages then one file called quest2.cfm might
actually generate thousands of pages depending on what you put as search criteria
with it.
