Thanks for sharing. Can the SPDY frontend only be tcp based though, not http? The reason I ask is because my setup does all the routing (path and subdomain based) with http frontends.

Unfortunately, it has to be TCP. You can define other HTTP frontends thought, but then you lose SPDY for that frontend.

You can use the routing capabilities of nginx in the backend to break the traffic further down.
