Aha, a real live mass hosting provider!  It's quite interesting to
hear your take on these sorts of architecture/infrastructure issues.

So, how well does the simple minded (but currently supported) "5000
smallish tuned AOLserver processes for 5000 websites" method work, or
how badly does it fail?  Did you test that?  How far down would you
have to push the AOLserver resource usage (by whatever unspecified
method) in order for it to make technical and economic sense for you
to host those 5000 virtual servers using AOLserver?
