Sorry, can't really supply you with a turn-key solution, especially as I
feel I don't have all the information involved to make an educated guess
on a decent setup, but maybe you could get in contact with the CCC crew
in Germany (http//ccc.de), they organize rather large events multiple
times a year, with several thousand users, so they may be able to give
you a few hints as to possible pitfalls ...
