It's a complete waste of IP addresses to run 20+ servers on their own IP and then to find out that 30 players will bring the CPU usage up to ~40%. Why not query the servers every minute to see how many players are actually playing and then take the empty servers offline. You could use the extra CPU power to host other services such as voice-chat, real-time stats (using PsychoQuery for example), etc.
