well one approach is to use squid as a reverse proxy.
problem with a lot of (all) alternate webservers is
they are not apache, so various modules and howtos just
don't apply to alternate. Using a reverse proxy lets
the proxy serve pages that don't require apache while
querying your *unchanged* apache should a request come
for dynamic or expired content. Squid is designed for
speed.
