This is how we do it for lots and lots of domain's, its not an issue with
load or anything. One thing to look for is the max number of file
descriptors. We've had to re-compile apache for 16348 FD's. As soon as
apache starts it opens all the log files etc, then under normal operation it
would have files ope etc. It can become an issue after 250 or so sites... :)
