I am in a situation will I may soon need to outsource the running of my apache server. This may be a good thing. However, I cannot outsource the running of my zope server. So I have the situation where apache will be running on a separate box from my zope server and I am wondering how to make sure I have a secure connection between the apache server that I don't control that will be using modproxy/rewrite rules to get content out of my zope server. Currently, zope only binds to 127.0.0.1 and apacy proxy connects. Using a remote apache server implies that I will need to have zope listen on a public interface. However, I will still need to secure it so I was considering openssl or something like that. in short I have APACHE HOST <------------------> ZOPE HOST I need to secure the connection between these two hosts.
