One thing that might be nice - and something I was planning on working on relatively soon was a rewrite rule wizard to extend VHM to auto-write rewrite rules for use with a front-end Apache/Squid; this would support mod_rewrite and Pyredir (a python-based Squid redirector). The idea would be that the rules could be copied by a site admin from their browser viewing a VHM management page and pasted into Apache's httpd.conf or a Squid redirector's conf file. I don't have code yet, but eventually plan to do this; would this kind of modification be useful to anybody? In the long run, if a "registry" of virtual host monsters is in the control panel, and could be queried via XML-RPC, it seems an Apache module or Squid redirector could be built or modified to make those servers use that data automatically! I would be tempted, for example, to hack Pyredir (since I primarily use Squid), to use its conf file for most of its rewrite rules, but query Zope via XML-RPC for supplementary rules associated with VHM instances as well on initial load or SIGHUP or Pyredir.

Please give feedback on this proposal, and let me know what I need to do to move this into the project phase.
