I am using similar setup I described right now with lighttpd (also event driven and single process) and it works very well. The only problem is that lighttpd does not have all the features you have and that this setup (proxy) is configured by hand statically not automatically. But I am sure (I am professional Linux system programmer so I know what I am talking about) that it is technically possible to implement the spawner to be automatic and transparent and to kill/die processes for users not currently needed.

Also I tested that processing the request two times instead of one (the first pass to proxy it, the second to serve) does not increase latency or decrease performance too much.
