We did 1800 sites on 30 IP's - what's the big deal? We found the practical limit to Apache's ability to serve virtuals was about 240 URL's. This was due to the fact that we ran out of file descriptors, which required either recompiling the kernel (not at 3:30am when we found the problem) or stop logging access, errors, referrers, and agents. We then started logging just access and error, and the next problem was all these cgi gurus on the virtual accounts that kept dragging down the server, but that was after we approached 300 virtuals on 1 IP on one AMD K6/500 with 128MB RAM.
