I'm not sure if there's a recommended limit, but it probably becomes
unwieldly to manage after a certain size.  You might want to consider
the mod_auth_ldap or mod_auth_mysql packages, which allow you to connect
Basic Authentication to an LDAP or MySQL database.  (There's probably a
postgresql version also.)

mod_auth_mysql is what we use on http://mirrors.trilug.org/ -- it works
pretty well.

Hope this helps,
Jeremy
