How to render very large scene:

Break it into parts. Forground, midground and background, and comp it together.

Use instances. Using instances, I have rendered over 20 billion polygones

wait for Vray standalone. There was an image floating arounf with a 25 milliuon poly model done this way.

one thing I have always learned, do as much in comp as possible, makes your life easier in the end.
