---------------
At this point, you're probably wondering just how in the world
any of this helps you. You're certainly not going to ask
people to use their browser to visit a URL like
'http://yourserver.com//VirtualHostBase/http/zope.com/vhm_test/VirtualHostRoot/'
just so your Zope-generated URLs will be "right". That would
defeat the pupose of virtual hosting entirely. The answer is:
don't ask humans to do it, ask your computer to do it. There
are two common (but mutually excusive) ways to accomplish
this: via the VirtualHostMonster *Mappings* tab and via Apache
"rewrite rules" (or your webserver's facility to do the same
thing if you don't use Apache). Be warned: use either one of
these facilities or the other but not both or very strange
things may start to happen. We give examples of using both
facilities below.

http://yourserver.com/VirtualHostBase (only one slash)
