If it is not important to have the same domain name for the one million users 
then the solution is trivial - just deploy f.e.100 servers with 10000 users 
on each. :)
Jabber works like email - you have not to setup one big mail server to make 1M 
users exchange their mails.

This solution brings an additional benefit - failure proof. Small server can 
be much easily replaced than big one.
