IP Alias Limit

What is the limit to the number of IPALIASes?

I need to install 506 IP Addresses on a box and
make Apache HTTPD answer to them.

This is possible (easy) on FreeBSD, but I have to
do it on Linux in order to keep the powers-that-be
from forcing us to migrate. A SCAREY proposition!

Please help. I know this is at least 50% off topic for
linux-kernel, but I need a good solution, fast.

(I'm not pulling any FreeBSD vs. Linux strings here, I'm
just trying to solve a real problem and save-the-day-with-Linux
like I enjoy doing so much...)
