VirtualHost name based routing in nodejs

Question

How could i do a vitualhost names based routing for running multiple sites on a single server.

I thought of installing nginx and proxying the request to nodejs, and doing name based routing for different domains in nginx.

Does it make sense to put nginx infront of nodejs ?

will it affect the performance of nodejs, since i have high performance requirements which currently being satisfied by nodejs.
