Maximum subwebs in Windows 2003/IIS 6

Background: I work at a large public university and we want to use use subwebs for hosting individual student web accounts under a single Virtual Server. The platform is Windows 2003/IIS6 w/FrontPage Extensions with a single Virtual Server as this setup would make it easy to place the subwebs under a single, common URL name-space. This deployment will result in setting up potentially thousands of subwebs so I was wondering if there is any limitation to the number of subwebs that can be hosted under one Virtual Server.

Memory and drive space limit it.
