I see both good and bad based on perspective. On one hand, and correct me if I am wrong, he handles the whole of virtual hosting in Zope. I have not really thought of the benefits of this other than not needing apache or IIS et al, to do virtual hosting. On the other hand, using apache has benefits that I can see. First, using proxypass and site root is exceedingly simple once you know how to use it, you modify the apache conf file and add a site root object in Zope, no extra coding. With this method you have to deal with the hostname on your own, write the code and deal with the contingencies. Also, you can easily use apache to cache high overhead items and have apache serve them instead of Zope. Now, that all said, one of the greatest feature of Zope is it's extensibility. So, products may be written to do this easily, which will even the field as far as ease of use is concerned. They may also have a way to do the caching in Zope, I don't know (not enough Zen) but it seems to me the benefit of doing it outside of Zope is obvious. Just my $.02, -- Jeffrey D.
