I'm not an expert (I know jag about web stuff), so don't take my words for granted. But I read somewhere that one can roughly 
distinguish between servers that handle requests thread-based (apache), and those that work event-based (nginx). The former are more 
vulnerable to D(D)OS attacks, so if we setup all the stuff on our own, using "nginx" might be worth a try?
I remember that there was a recent talk about Bitbucket and its internal architecture. If this sound interesting, I can try to dig 
up the link, and you can have a look at which components/configurations it uses. Why not learn from the best? Or let's say the 
successful at least... ;)
