Number of interfaces limitation

[Tim Peiffer]

I had to patch my dhcpd to handle 30 some VLAN's., so my guess is pretty 
small. For a while the question might have been how many interfaces can 
you get on a box, but the recent vendor changes for 802.1q now allow for 
4096 concurrent vlans.

I see that large of numbers of LAN interfaces as problematic.  In 
everything other than our wireless environment (30 vlans), I unicasta 
route my remaining 1800 networks via dhcp relay's on the routers.
