   As far as I understand VirtualHostMonster, it can create a virtual host
only for root on www.foo.com. That is I can redirect http://www.foo.com/ to
/VirtualHostBase/http/www.foo.com/vhosts/foo/VirtualHostRoot/.
   But what if I want to make www.foo.com static site under Apache but
redirect a directory (location, actually) to Zope? For exampl, I want
www.foo.com to be a static site, but serve www.foo.com/Zope from Zope. It
seems VirtualHostMonster cannot do this, and I need to go back to
SiteAccess.

   The problem is that currently VirtualHostMonster receives only 3
parameters - protocol (http), virtual server domain (www.foo.com) and Zope
folder (/vhosts/foo). It need to receive yet another parameter - virtual
host path (www.foo.com/Zope in my example).
   Any chance this will be implemented? Should I file a feature request
into Collector?

Oleg.
