I don't know about AllegroServe.  When I tried mod_lisp, it turned out 
to be (for better or worse) a way of linking Apache to a running LISP 
instance.  At the time, I was looking for items similar to mod_perl 
and mod_ruby: permitting the running of LISP inside of Apache.

I tried (and liked) Araneida; any reason why anyone didn't mention it? 
  Araneida is the web server that is driving CLiki - and is developed 
by the same person.  I put it on SBCL and it worked just fine.
