I can confidently assure you, that with my four WWW machines running Apache 1.1.1, and three of them with 130 virtual servers/hosts each, Ive never recorded one single error or warning. Going past approximately 130 servers is different..proably related to a open files limit being reached *two logs per virtual*. But again, this is not a problems with Apache as we've ever used it on 2.1.0 or 2.1.5.
