ZopeHTTPServer does not support virtual hosting.  It is really a very
simple server based on CGIHTTPServer.  ZServer *does* support and
supports it rather well.  Checking out Sam's Medusa site
http://www.nightmare.com/medusa.  It might be handly to fetch yourself a
full copy of medusa and play with it.  It is really very cool.

Hmm.  Yes this is the 'IPless' virtual hosting based on the HTTP 1.1
Host header that I've heard about but never used.  Medusa is 1.1
compliant, so perhaps it does support it.  I don't know.
