Just for the records: Something similar to the Mongrel2 idea - Service 
providers connected by ZeroMQ to a web gateway:

https://github.com/dotcloud/stack.io

The underlying protocol is ZeroRPC [*] for the providers and socket.io 
for with the browser. Also implements authentication. I like this 
concept very much, because you are free to restart and scale the actual 
providers and implement them in whatever have ZeroRPC lib.

There are many ZeroRPC implementations already - Go, Python, Node.js.

Pierre 'catwell' Chapuis was started Lua implementation few months ago, 
but I can not find the repo now.

Unfortunately, the dotCloud web broker is written in Node.js, but I 
suppose that it would not be hard a much lighter Lua implementation to 
be composed by the components already present around.

[*] ZeroRPC: Streaming capable, language agnostic RPC protocol. Based on 
ZeroMQ and MessagePack, developed and used in production by dotCloud.
