Yes. The limit is set by the ip_addrs_per_if ndd variable. The
default limit is 256, but can be increased to 8192:
ndd -set /dev/ip ip_addrs_per_if 8192
This variable has a bit of an odd history. The kernel uses AVL trees
for interfaces, and so should scale fairly nicely with huge numbers of
interfaces. I believe the limit is there mostly to protect
_application_ programs, many[1] of which will perform atrociously or
just fall over dead with an excessive number of interfaces.
[1] No list here ... "you know who you are." ;-}
