[Zope] ZServer vs. Apache

[Joshua Brauer]

Two Zope/Apache questions.

1) I asked a while ago about 2.0b1 and apache which no longer works for me. (1.x still works but not 2.x)
2) Does ZServer do multihoming? I'd be happy to drop apache if I could get multiple sites to run from a single port on a single box.
