Some remarks:

1) If you use custom product which contain images, it is useful to add
sth like

ProxyPass /Control_Panel/Products/Mycustomproduct
http://localhost:9673/Control_Panel/Products/Mycustomproduct

(otherwise you will not see the images which belong to the product - in
my case I couldn't see the product icons on management screens). Reverse
pass for this purpose is not needed.

2) ZCatalog does not work with SiteRoot. Smaller problem: the URLs
returned are incorrect (you can parse them with dtml). Greater problem:
attempt to find new items fails (the only solution I found is to remove
SiteRoot, find/update ZCatalog, add SiteRoot again).

3) You loose original IP address (you can use mod_proxy_add_forward
custom Apache module to preserve it in the custom X-Forwarded-For
header, so far I have not managed to recover original addresses in zope
log and for logging verification).
