One possible approach here is to have your proxy add a magic path element to
the path, sending http://www.mydomain.com/PATH to
http://zope-host.nipltd.com/PROXIED/mydomain/PATH.

Then have an Access Rule which says:

If "REQUEST.path and REQUEST.path[-1]=='PROXIED'" then "REQUEST.path.pop()"
and "REQUEST.setURL(path='/')".  There doesn't have to be a real object
called PROXIED, it's just a flag to be recognized and discarded by the
Access Rule.
