I think a better approach is to use mod_proxy.  I don't remember who
originally suggested this, but it seems to work very well for us,
especially because my Zope server is on a different machine than my
primary web server.  The main problem is "tricking" Zope to use a
different URL base, but 4am's SiteAccess is supposed to handle this
(haven't tried it yet).

Here are my Apache directives:

  ProxyPass        /Zope/ "http://othermachine.python.org:8080/"
  ProxyPassReverse /Zope/ "http://othermachine.python.org:8080/"

Makes it simple to just run ZServer using the standard configuration.

Enjoy,
