Hey,

I will soon be a NPO and have come to the conclusion that one should not run more than 50 servers on one linux/sqlite installation.
I former used to run 100, but this causes an error on startup. Well the server sometimes works fine despite the error, but sometimes not.
So i run 50.
But i would not recommend more than 150 servers totally on one machine.
otherwise it will cause errors like a server creator failes in adding servername/serveradmin to the server via telnet, server crashes etc.
i think it goes hand in hand with thread limit under linux and such thints. i did some opitimizations which helped a bit but not much.

now i rented a windows server and have some hope... because i have so much traffic but cant install all the servers on one machine.

what are your experiences?
