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.

Can you use openvpn to create a tunnel between the apache server and your zope server, then run zope on a private interface?
