I have no personal experience of large scale implementations, but 
reports on this list suggest that several hundred thousand clients is 
not a problem. I believe there are no hard coded limits, and some 
people have created pools for an entire class A (eg 10.0.0.1 to 
10.255.255.253) which would test the internal hashing process.
