Any setup involving virtual hosts (as this proxy arrangement does
implicitly) can have bad interactions with ZCatalogs, and there's not a lot
to be done without some fairly deep changes in Zope.  Basically, a catalog
entry created through one 'access path' (like ZServer on 8080) should not be
used or updated on another (like the proxy) on which the absolute paths
differ.  This can be tricky when the objects are catalog-aware.

Sorry, but my best advice is the same as the doctor gave to the guy who said
"My arm hurts when I do this."

"So don't do that."
