[Zope] VirtualHostMonster w/ ZServer

Neither SiteRoots nor VirtualHostMonsters can do the job by themselves.
They both need somebody doing the first half of the virtual host mapping --
sending  requests for www.foo.com to /vhosts/foo.  Apache can do this, but
if you want a bare ZServer, you'll need to use an Access Rule.  Setting the
following Script as root Access Rule should do it, in conjunction with a
VHM:

## Script (Python) "vhost_access"
##bind container=container
##bind context=context
##bind namespace=
##bind script=script
##bind subpath=
##parameters=self, req, resp

##title=Virtual Host Access Rule
##
host = req['HTTP_HOST']
stack = req['TraversalRequestNameStack']
# Put path elements on the stack in reverse order.
if host == 'www.foo.com':
    stack.extend(['VirtualHostRoot', 'foo', 'vhosts'])
elif host == 'www.bar.com':
    stack.extend(['VirtualHostRoot', 'bar', 'vhosts'])
