There is several software or patches which can handle this kind of
stuff, but none is stable, none is suitable

php-fpm looks great, but it's not accurate enought because it's:
a patch to php core, it depends on a certain version of libevent (and
it's not compatible with OpenBSD for example), it's still a beta, some
features are missing ... it's a good start but definitely not enought.
