[Zope] Zope and proxy servers

[Alexander Limi]

Zopistas,

I recently stumbled over a document that shows how to run ZServer via
mod_proxy in Apache(1). Link to the document at the bottom(2).

So I thought this might be the ideal solution for us, as we don't need any of
the standard web-server functions, as the whole site is made in Zope. (with a
turnaround time like no other project I've ever attempted :)

So, if we set up the Squid(3) proxy/webcache to forward all requests to port
8080 to port 80, is there anything in particular to watch out for?

If I understand the documentation correctly, this will both be the fastest
solution (eliminating FastCGI/PCGI and the Zope.cgi issue entirely), and
simultaneously allow us to run other Apache sites on the box (for other
domains), therefore also being the most flexible solution from our standpoint.

Please comment if I'm right or wrong on this.

Regards,

on our univerity network, we can't use our MXs anymore, and we haven't got
around to setting up a new mailinglist solution yet. Yeah, procmail, I know :)
