And there is httpd which you are already running, and you can run a very low cost, separate instance with very minimal modules loaded. With the mod_proxy_balancer, you can shuffle off some of the traffic to a second, third machine for good measure. Is either better? Google both for problems to determine how many people are irritated with either.
