I guess 100-1000 would be realistic. But more may come later.

Thanks. Before doing this, i just want to be sure that i'm on the right
path and there are no alternatives. For instance, i've also considered
creating a new realm per machine but this won't work either. A user's
identity should be global but also have access to selected machine(s). I
think that concept can work only within a single realm.

Unfortunately that won't work either. :-(. We need those clients and their
respective machines to be in place and operational.
