There shouldn't be a limit to the number of sites you can run in one 
installation except the total number of hits and pages, etc. Once the 
request for a domain is routed to the home directory, T3 will treat it 
the same whether it's for one domain or another. So one hit each to 20 
domains should behave like 20 hits to different pages in the same 
domain. We have quite a few installations with multiple sites and 
haven't noticed a difference on the server level whether it's a single 
domain or a dozen.

The "limitations" of this kind of setup are that an admin user has 
access to the entire installation, so for each site, you can't have an 
admin user unless you want them to have access to everyone else's sites. 
The benefit of this type of setup is that if you are the only site admin 
and everyone else is ordinary editors, it allows you to administer 
everyone's site from a single login.

You install the extensions into the installation, but then you can 
configure them for each site in the page tree through your template. 
This way, you can add news to one site, TIMTAB to another, a forum to a 
third site, and not have a problem with any of them "bleeding" into 
other sites. The only exception to this is that BEusers are global for 
an installation so any extensions that use BEusers, like pre-4.0 
workflow and versioning or the chc_forum, would requre that you pull 
from the global list of users. This would be hard to isolate between 
installs, but if you do all the extension setup and admin for each site 
it shouldn't be an issue. Also, if you set up the BE group or user to 
disable an extension, they won't be able to even see that an extension 
is available for their site.

How many domains are you considering running in one installation?
