This one made me go "Huh?" and reread.

I don't understand why you'd need a custom HTTP server. It might be overly simplistic, but just write a module for nginx? Surely that would have been faster. You get controllable timeouts, you could tweak their throttling code to stop it throwing 50x, and modify/take inspiration from nginx-ey-balancer. And you get a bullet proof HTTP engine for free?
