[Zope-CMF] Any workarounds or tricks for getting portal conte nt to look like it's directly under root?

[John Puster]

the only problem there is that URLs generated by the portal will be wrong.
this is something i have been struggling with on and off since i started
using zope.  i *think* the proper way to do it is with a SiteRoot, part of
the SiteAccess product (included with zope these days).  here are some
references:
http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess2/vhosting
http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver

i haven't actually run a site for very long doing this, as setting a
siteroot has been a little bit unsettling, even though there are ways around
it.  so, for the time being, i have lived with having the main site off the
main directory (with a small redirector in the actual root directory).  i
have been really curious how other people are accomplishing this, though.  i
would love to hear exactly how cmf.zope.org is set up.
