Yes, that’s the idea.

If it makes sense, there could be a single ‘web-service-type’ that both
Apache httpd and NGINX would implement. The MediaGoblin service would
extend them by providing something like a vhost specification I suppose?
Now, perhaps we would need separate ‘httpd-service-type’ and
‘nginx-service-type’ if httpd and NGINX happen to be extensible in
different ways. I don’t really know these tools, but it would be good
to see how we would do it. WDYT?
