Using Apache's ProxyPass with ZServer seems much easier than the CGI modal. Is there any reason not to use this? http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver
Apparently this is a slightly religious issue. Some people use ProxyPass and love it, others swear by the persistent PCGI co-process (or its cousin FastCGI), others just want ZCGI for a few URL's, and some people may even like using raw ZServer for everything. :) The primary reason to use ProxyPass is if you already run Apache and like its flexibility, but you would like to Zope-ify a URL subspace without sacrificing multithreaded performance. A second great reason is if you need to run Zope on a separate (possibly hidden) server farm. The target of the ProxyPass need not be on the same machine, or even the same continent, as the Apache front end. If you use ProxyPass for a full fledged Zope site including management interface and standard DTML page templates involving those nasty absolute URL's, remember to install the latest SiteAccess product.
