[Xitami] HELP - virtual DNS hosting

The vhost scheme in Xitami is lightweight; very little load on the CPU. 

As I understand it: Somewhere above "many thousand", there will be a
-slight- delay on each hit. Unless you have a VERY fast connection, this
will be lost in network delays. 

At "thousands", any multi-host server becomes hard to manage anyway-- I
think you will lose your mind or at least lose track of who owns what
vhost long before Xitami gets confused. 

On Windows, on P-166 machines, folders with thousands of subfolders can
be slow to open. That's quite outside Xitami's control. A faster Windows
box or unix with big RAM may manage thousands of folders better. 

I certainly see no lag on a machine with a dozen vhosts. I think someone
here runs hundreds with no problem.
