Yes, the mod_rewrite approach is a very common way to serve 
from both Apache and Zope, e.g. static pages / images from 
Apache, dynamic stuff from Zope. In fact, that's how Zope.org 
was set up for quite awhile, and may still be (don't know the 
details).

There are many refernces to this topic in the mail list archives.

For more intimate integration with existing Perl stuff, see:

CMS is the latest buzzword for Web Application Development, AKA 
WorkFlow, Distributed Applications, etc. Zope is perfectly at 
home with this paradigm, whatever the nom du jour!
