Reverse Proxy for Node.JS on IBM i

What are people's thoughts about running web servers as reverse proxies for Node.JS servers on the IBM i?

I assume one could set up an IBM HTTP server as a reverse proxy for a Node.JS server. The IBM HTTP server could handle static content; the Node.JS server could deliver web services for dynamic content.

I also assume WebSphere web server could also be set up as a reverse proxy for Node.JS. Would there be any benefits to using WebSphere instead of the IBM HTTP server as a reverse proxy on the IBM i?

I currently have NGINX set up as a reverse proxy for a Node.JS server on a windows machine (a learning environment). I like the fact that NGINX and Node.JS are both event driven, making them fast and scalable. I'm not sure I will ever really need the scalability NGINX offers. IBM HTTP server will very likely meet all of my needs. Yet, out of curiosity, does anyone know if there are plans to port NGINX (or some other event driven web server) to the IBM i?

Thanks,
