Mhmm, I guess there are quite some possibilities to break the virtual
hosting done by SiteAccess (the proxypass solution as to the HowTo by
anser <http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver/index_html>)

ZPhotoAlbum for example uses an index_html method to redirect users
to the correct page and this renders the path based on the PATH_INFO,
which does not seem to be modified by SiteAccess

like this

   <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('to_url', _.string.split(PATH_INFO, album_id, 1))">

   <dtml-if "REQUEST.cookies.has_key('pv')">
     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('to_url', '%s%s%s/%s/%s%s' % (SERVER_URL, 
to_url[0], album_id, REQUEST.cookies['pv'], album_id, to_url[1]))">
   <dtml-else>
     <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('to_url', '%s%s%s/%s/%s%s' % (SERVER_URL, 
to_url[0], album_id, 'simple', album_id, to_url[1]))">
   </dtml-if>

   <p>Please <a href="&dtml-to_url;">continue</a>.</p>

   <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(to_url)">

After this, you end up with a location field that does not represent
the VHost, but VHost-based links, the pages break.
