I didn't read any of your docs, but this is effectively how we have been hosting our websites for about the last 3-4 years. We have a pair of routers, which round-robin balances (with state) each http requests onto one of a pair (or more, but currently a pair) of boxes. These boxes all have the appropriate IPs of the hosted sites assigned to their loopback (so that each machine can handle any correctly routed request). Each box has a pair of apache instances running on it, one running apache-worker and doing SSL termination and proxying to the second instance, running apache-event. The second instance serves all static files, and proxys content from the application servers. Each application is then split into a number of backends, and we use mod_proxy_balancer on the proxies to manage which ones are active. > one 1Ghz proccessor was enough and it's load was between 4-12 That's successful? If I look at graphs of our load average, it never goes above 1.
