how many clients per server w/ nessus?

Greetings,

Has anybody ever setup a central nessus server to be
used with multiple, simultaneous clients?  Any idea
what the safe max per server is in terms of # clients
and # scanning threads (ie: target IPs/hosts)?  I'm
interested in setting up a central server with the
ability to scan 50-100 confirmed hosts simultaneous
from 5-10 unique clients and am wondering if 1 server
can handle this, or if I'll need to setup multiple
servers.

Thanks much!
