Hello.

What is the maximum number of VirtualHosts Apache can handle on a single machine (I don't mean anything related to load, let's suppose it's irrelevant for the question). And we take only Apache without any proxifying things like nginx.

I am asking because on one forum one guy reported that his Apache works unstable with the number of sites more than 400 on a single machine.

If you have a config, that handles more than 400, please tell me here.

Thanks.
