In what circumstance do you expect a typical sysadmin to have come 
across this? I can not think of a sensibly-designed system which would 
have such a requirement

Or did they simply say that they had experience of multiple VIPs and 
were not aware of any limits (but for bonus points, here's how they 
would find out)? That is the answer that I would expect - showing 
practical, real-world experience of the technology in question, but not 
claiming to know more than they do.

Also, some firms use these questions to get answers without paying 
consultancy fees.
