This is great. At dotCloud we've reluctantly ported our distributed routing layer (http://github.com/dotcloud/hipache http://github.com/dotcloud/hipache) from Nginx to Node + node-http-proxy, because we needed 1) high-volume dynamic configuration and 2) websocket support. Problem 1 can already be addressed by combining a Redis backend and Nginx's awesome Lua scripting engine (https://github.com/samalba/hipache-nginx https://github.com/samalba/hipache-nginx). Now that problem 2 is solved as well, we might be able to port Hipache back to Nginx in the future :) Go Nginx!
