This can not be generalized.

The main problem is that separating the main server from the application 
server means that you need to implement another server!

Implementing a robust/scalable/efficient server is not an easy task, so 
using mod_whatever is the best solution (assuming, of course, that the 
application is designed to taking advantage of being embedded in a server).
