Dimitri,
I used nginx and I know that, if you start nginx server it starts one master(main) process for nginx itself and many worker process. worker process can be configured in nginx configuration file.
Here is the example of real box:
[eric@mail ~]$ ps aux|grep nginx
mail 10093 0.0 0.0 4620 724 ? Ss Oct28 0:00 nginx: master process /opt/nginx/sbin/nginx -c /opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
mail 10094 0.0 0.0 6660 3608 ? S Oct28 0:39 nginx: worker process
mail 10095 0.0 0.0 6584 3544 ? S Oct28 0:43 nginx: worker process
mail 10096 0.0 0.0 6564 3520 ? S Oct28 0:30 nginx: worker process
mail 10097 0.0 0.0 6628 3576 ? S Oct28 0:45 nginx: worker process
mail 25199 0.0 0.0 1972 528 pts/0 S+ 08:47 0:00 grep nginx
