[support] Multi Site Question . . .

[Aaron Green]

I'm wondering how high Drupal can go.  I am reviewing it for an
installation where it could be installed on 140 sites (departments
within a company).  I really can't afford to get to some odd number
and see serious performance issues.  The traffic most likely won't be
an issue, but huge amounts of content will go in the database.
Upgrading all of these as separate sites would be a nightmare, so
multi-site is my only solution at this time.
