Nginx

Actually the question is in the title. Node.JS as a front end behind a business server in a statically typed language. Nginx (or IIS) before Node.JS. I do not want to take Python and Ruby for some personnel and political reasons. As a transport, a bunch of ZeroMQ + Google Protobuf. All this should work on Linux and Windows. Dreams?

Not a dream, but for me it's not worth it. Node layer is not needed if you have a business server running everything.

If Node.js is a kind of proxy between the BS and the client, which will simply overtake the data without changes (or with minimal XML<->JSON changes), or if the Client is very heavy (one-pager) or you need to show some real-time graphics, then worth it.

From the fact that you pile up layers - the performance will not increase, but worsen, delays and load will increase. There can be only one useful layer - Nginx for balancing, handling a bunch of slow connections, caching, compression, distribution of statics and providing TLS, SPDY, as well as minimal DoS protection and password brute force.
