The maximum number of virtual servers on a single host is dictated by the
number of supported mount points. The /proc file system within each virtual
server is mounted, which combined with the the standard mount points on a
server (/, /var, /etc, /usr, /local) leads to a limit of around 250. I
believe this limit can be increased however (kernel option?), so is probably
not the final limit that can be reached... I am not aware of any limit on
the number of IP aliases a machine can support but there may be one. Let us
know if you break the 250 limit, and what sort of performance your virtual
servers are able to provide...
