I am interested in how many users can be connected to a shared object, and to a red5 server in total without streaming media (just shared object connections & some AMF)

We regularly QA our servers (and our streaming partners) against 500, 1000, 5000 and more RMTP streams -- we've provisioned events for as many as 40,000 streams. Once .4 is out, I'm planning on using our testing center to do a reality check on Red5. If there are any particular scenarios you would like me to test, let me know. And John is right -- the single point of failure is a big problem. I have spent some time working on a poor man's clustering setup for Red5, although with the API in flux it's not a serious effort right now. Definitely it will be a major component for me once the API settles down.
