Asterisk support the concept of "configuration engine", this means that you can write a configuration engine to get the data from anywhere. The default configuration engine is "text_file_engine", that reads the configuration from text files. This engine does not have any limit in the code, so the only limit is the performance hit of starting or reloading. Actually some limits exists for the size of context names, nested includes etc, but no for number of lines.
