Reverse proxy load balancer and web server, extensible (plugins!), and full of fun tricks like internal (user-transparent) redirects. Can have its config changed on the fly without restarts, and supports a lot of management port commands for observability.

very fast / lightweight proxy / web server
by hashbangperl
We're using perlbal for 2/3 webservers and will be rolling it out for 2 more shortly, it's handling between 200 and 300 concurrent requests despite sharing a server with a busy mod_perl server and proxying to other busy servers.
The reproxying is very very useful, the ability to daisychain selectors is also a killer feature.
So far my only issues have been the level of documentation, and occasional reliability issues under nasty
