Do you mind sharing details about the application or hosted sites?  It sounds
like it could be something for a domain speculator or something else with
similar content across all 8,000 domains?  But I'm just speculating myself.  If
so then you could just setup 8,000 A records in DNS pointing to the same IP and
create a single site.  Then store all of the unique content in a database and
use mod_rewrite to point to a single PHP script.  In the PHP script use the
variable $REQUEST_URI and/or some other variables along with the explode()
function to parse the URL, retrieve data for it from the database and
dynamically create each web page.
