actually i use a combination of squid / apache because i need some re-writing, you could as well use squid for caching and apache for (name-based) virtual hosting. this of course introduces additional latency, but this shouldnt be a problem if your objects are fairly cacheable, ie. most content would be served out of squid anyway.
That's an interesting configuration. For a while Ive been considering a solution based on longer-than-usual chains of http proxies, and a "do one thing well" principal. In my case: Apache (for rewriting and SSL) -> Squid accelerator -> A custom load-balancing redirector -> Multiple Zopes Have you had any significant latency, or other problems?
