Like TheSenator says, Lighttpd is doing the video serving. Apache is used for anything else on the page.
The following page demonstrates Flowplayer fetching pseudo content from a CDN, plus fallback if H.264 is not supported by the user's version of Flash.

For anyone else wanting to do this, do keep in mind that pseudostreaming is effectively just like progressive download, that is, once the download begins at X point, it proceeds until either the video is completely downloaded, or the surfer goes to another point in the timeline, or he switches to a different page. It's not like true streaming, where the server will stream only so much at a time, then stop.
