You need to think about what 'location' means. Does it mean 'the address
of the user'? Does it mean 'the reverse lookup (or part thereof) of 
the IP address of the user'? Could you instead do it with multiple 
CNAMEs pointing at the zope server, then do it by looking at HTTP_HOST?
(eg www.loc1.yourcompany.com, www.loc2.yourcompany.com, ...)

It depends on the value of 'this' really :)
