At my ${CURRENT_JOB}, I'm monitoring around 600 hosts with just under
6000 services on a single VM running RHEL 5.  I do process perfdata
on the same node, and replicate all config data and state data to
a warm standby (also a VM).  Replication is done via MySQL replication
(for the config data) and NSCA (for the state data).  A custom perl
program dumps the extended state data (disabled notifications,
acknowledgements, etc) for import if needed.

Yes, I know, VM bad.  :)  Just not bad enough to spend real dollars on
more physical hosts.

This year, I will be bringing up a second pair of monitoring hosts at
a secondary data center, with much the same architecture.
