Just also run Twiggy, and direct comet traffic to the twiggy instance on your front end apache.. The checking authorisation part for one user will block the server - but that's ok really, as this is quick (I mean, it's quick in FCGI, right?) and the comet connections are, by their nature, long lived - so you don't make too many of them (i.e. there are lots of idle connections - which is why you're using an async server, but these connections are long lived - the actual act of connecting is rare). Until you have 1000s of concurrent users, you're unlikely to be doing enough re-connections to notice - and when you are, just balance connections across multiple copies of Twiggy with mod_proxy_balancer.
