Hi everyone,
Is there a limit to how many exit nodes we can run?

Let me see if I can answer this one for you.
The short answer is no, you can run as many relays as you want. If you operate more than one however, you should be sure to set the MyFamiliy option in your config file.
This is important to ensure that multiple relays operated by the same person will not be used to build one circuit.

Agreed with the above. If you run more than a single exit I would further recommend that you try to diversify the exit location, IP ranges and ISP if you can. That's not a huge issue if it's only a few servers being run, but if you begin to process over 125MB/s of traffic overall, it's best to start factoring in where your servers are in relation to the rest of the network (thus avoiding reducing the anonymity-diversification set).
