Yep that seems to be my first choice so far I like something tightly 
integrated. Nginx is small and Lua too I do not expect a lot of overhead 
if they talk without sockets and TCP (FastCGI) I can always deploy a 
nginx in front of many to load balance....??? Plus nginx handles things 
quite efficiently so it is the CGI that is a drag compared to FastCGI 
from what I have read...
