Practical VCL limits; giant URL->backend map

The quite-possibly-nutty idea has occurred to me of auto-generating a
VCL that maps each of about 18 million artifacts (incoming URLs) to
1,2,or3 of what are effectively 621 backend locations. (The mapping is
essentially arbitrary.)
Essentially, it would be replacing a squid url_rewrite_program.
Am I likely to hit any hard VCL implementation limits (in
depth-of-conditional-nesting, overall size, VCL compilation overhead,
etc.) if my VCL is ~100-200MB in size?
Am I overlooking some other more simple way to have varnish consult an
arbitrary mapping (something similar to a squid url_rewrite_program)?
Thanks for any warnings/ideas.
