If you scour the archives, you'll find discussion about this kind of thing 
several years ago, and then again sometime in the last 6 months. Googling 
about a bit should also yield relevant references.

The OP built a system where NASCAR fans could call into conferences and 
listen to the cockpit chatter of the car of their choice.

His system handled around 6,000 callers, but could be scaled higher.

Think of a tree where 1 system hosts the conference. All 'callers' to this 
host are the next level of Asterisk systems. Add additional layers to 
build out to the number of real callers you want on an individual server.
