This made it possible to use FastCGi. It is even possible to include 
the relevant parts into
VirtualHost containers in your apache config!

But I still have problems with FastCGi. Every now and then I get 
connection errors from apache.
I posted this to the Zope list but did not get an answer :-( Please 
have a look if you encounter
the same...:

The apache-error-log tells the following on the request:

As I am alone on this server at the moment, this seems to become a 
major problem when the system is on load...

Does anyone have an idea on that messages???
