If you want to give each host a class, you can not change the number of
classes. But you can make the filter part faster. If you mark each host
with a iptables mark, that mark is also the class of the host. Very fast
filtering, but you need also a lot of iptables rules.
There is also a WRR qdisc. This qdisc will create for each host (or
mac-address) it sess, a class and will assign some bandwidth to this class.
Very easy if you have lot of hosts.

Btw, what are a lot of hosts? 1000, 10000, 100000, ... ?
