very large number of Bonjour services

Will I go to hell for creating hundreds of bonjour NSNetServices?

I have a server/client relationship in a product I have been redesigning.
the 'servers' are individual instances of a plugin (running on macs) and the client is an iOS app which can choose one of the plugin instances to control.
with this new system it's possible the users could have a very large number of services advertising themselves on the LAN and I'm concerned about the effect of this once scaled up.

an extreme example might be 10 users with 128 instances each - so 1280 Bonjour services.
a more realistic example might be 2 users with 50 instances and 10 with 2 - so less than 200 instances would be normal.

So is there a limit to the number of zeroconf services on any given network?
Could there eventually be an issue with congestion/contention?

I know it sounds "wrong" but so far nobody can tell me why...
