At the end of the day, I'll try to compare Erlang Web servers with others
competitors (not written in Erlang).

Please, just follow and stick to the rules.
Nginx or Varnish (https://www.varnish-cache.org/) or any HTTP accelerator are out of this challenge scope.

I'm aware of that rule (Steve Vinoski post: http://steve.vinoski.net/blog/2011/05/09/erlang-web-server-benchmarking/). 
Thanks anyway.

Why it's so hard to just play the game guys?
