Pound.  Maybe eventually in haproxy.  Plus a half dozen or so smaller projects 
that aren't likely production-ready.  Plus various commercial solutions.

You could drop Apache+mod_ssl+mod_proxy in front of Varnish.  You can even 
choose between prefork or worker.  Of course, it would be painful to set up and 
diagnose, and it scales poorly compared to the single-process model.  But your 
ps output will be longer.

The single-process model as regards scalability is a red herring.
