Alan: nginx provides a nice front to Node.js as a load balancer across multiple machines. Also, (for me) it can be used to front multiple Node applications, all on different ports, but all serving up from port 80 for web consumption. Point being: nginx doesn't kill the purpose of Node, it allows an otherwise single thread, single port process (node) to be run across machines and be load balanced as necessary. I also see some people using it to serve static files instead of using Node for that... not sure about performance on that.
