Last I heard, if you multinet (overlay 'C' subnets on the same interface, you should be able to put hundreds if you increase all the IPC stuff (file descs, mbufs, etc...). The ipalias stuff adds some decision making overhead onto the IP stack which slows packet throughput for everything. You may be better-off using "non-IP Virtual Hosts" in Apache (see host.html in the HTdocs/manual directory). They use one IP address which is easy on the stack and your address space. Apache has to make VHost routing decisions anyway. It works on every reader I've tested with, but something old out there may just go to the default server.
