bindings

IIS7.x on a win08 web version on a dedicated server.

I have a site that's serving a few dozen affiliates - many of which are hitting me via a subdomain from their own root domain - all of which have a subdomain specific to their account. E.G. my affiliate named 'Acme' hits my site via:

myApp.Acme.com (his root, my app)
Acme.MyDomain.com (his account within my root domain)

Currently I'm adding each of these as a binding entry in IIS (targeting a discrete IP, not '*'). As I ramp this up to include more affiliates I'm wondering if I should be concerned about how many binding this site handles. Proabaly, in Acme's case I can do without the 'Acme.MyDomain.com' because, in reality, all traffic takes place via myApp.Acme.com.

Mine is a niche site - very volume compared to most. At what point do I worry about all those bindings?

thx
