We have probably ~100k prefixes in our LCR. We don't put these in the
dialplan directly; instead, they live in a database and we have an
external application which routes calls. FreeSWITCH has mod_lcr which I
would imagine will do the same sort of thing; we don't use it because it
wasn't around when we started.
I'd caution against trying to put thousands of prefixes in the dialplan:
I'd guess that matching each call against some thousands of regexes
during call setup might get expensive.

That'd depend on the number of concurrent calls you need to budget for -
taking it that 1,100 lines implies maybe 1-200 simultaneous calls, then
one low-end modern server (Core 2 Duo, etc.) ought to do just fine.
