Look at z2.py options to set IP to listen on. If Zope and Apache are on
the same machine, you can set 127.0.0.1, so Zope won't be accesible from
other hosts. If they are on separate machines, then probably they are
in the same LAN - so you can use some other address not accessible from
outside your LAN.
