The typical solution to this is to reverse proxy webmachine under
nginx. You can set pattern matches in Nginx which will forward dynamic
traffic to webmachine running on a different port (invisibly to the
client) and serve static content in all its optimized nginx glory.

Here's something from my own setup which forward /reset and /forgot to
webmachine:

	location /forgot {
		proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8191
	}

	location /reset {
		proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8191;
	}

This will cause /reset to go to http://127.0.0.1:8191/reset.
Webmachine runs on port 8191.
