You dont have to have them on different domain names to be able to have 100 
servers, you just use a jabber server with a distributed architecture, which 
is where the commercial jabber server solutions come in.

The solution of 100 servers each serving its own different domain is not 
failure proof at all (if one server goes down none if its users will be able 
to login), its only failure proof if any user can login to any of the 
servers with a single set of credentials, which is something only a 
distributed load balanced jabber server can provide.
