Yeah last I remember Vibe was being re-coded to work like a 
library rather than only as an http server, like I said it was a 
long time ago when I was looking around at Vibe. I'll take a good 
look again, it sounds promising. I'll also take a look at your 
library as well, this must be it

We also use a proxy (haproxy), main reason is we still have to 
support ipv4, and a proxy is ideal solution for a server with 
only 1 ipv4 address. We run most things today as lxc 
containerised appliances, one server will have many containers. A 
proxy however does come with a single point of failure issue, it 
would be more ideal for ipv6 enabled clients to by-pass the proxy 
and go directly to each container.
