They run like 1000 subdomains and it just chokes out Apache. I haven't been able to prove it just yet but all 3 of these dedicated clients share the same issues and all have an abnormal amount of sub domains on some kind of CMS script like WP. I'm a Drupal guy anyways but willing to give WP a try down the road once I dip into more blogging down the road I'm sure.
Sounds like a nightmare ... I have no "defined" subdomains (well, *, www, the usual) for the WPMU sites, they are handled with mod-rewrite exclusively. The server load was 30.x then 90.x when it really started getting bad. Long story, but it's over now, and the site is gone/down. ;)
