You will hit a limit based on the number of open file descriptors. I dont know the limit off hand in linux, but if you have apache virtual servers with their own error and access logs (2 open files each) plus serving files (each served file needs to be opened) you will hit the max in linux somewhere just beyond 200 sites if I remember correctly. The limit can be modified if you need to go higher, or you can play tricks like have 2 instances of apache running on the same server. If you are talking about an intranet server, IP's are cheap and you can give each copy of apache its own IP.
