[users@httpd] maximum httpd.conf size

What is the maximum size of httpd.conf ( with large number of portals, etc )
file that Apache can support. I am having around 1000 virtualhosts.

There is no maximum size as far as I know.  But a very large config
will slow startups and restarts as well as somewhat increase the
memory usage.  Usually if you are running that many vhosts you'll want
to use a dynamic configuration system such as mod_vhost_alias.
