Mh I am not really sure it would be a better performance as it would be
anyway more than one process. I think that phusion passenger is pretty much
the most robust solution for this.

Well this would be even more load as two web servers will run at the same
time. Apache + Phusion passenger already lets you run .php or anything you
want.

But this is not the issue really. I think this is all fine in term of mono
user. Question: if you have 100 users how do you configure it ?
How can you add webdav support on the top of the Nginx + unicorn setup ?

I am open to anything but if I can't do something I might ask for some
brave volunteers to set it up as I really never tried anything else beside
for local/quick test deployment.
