[Zope] Multiple servers on Zope?

You'll need to install the excellent SiteAccess Product to do virtual
hosting from within Zope (I used to use Apache with mod_rewrite to do the
virtual hosting, but it's much better to let Zope handle it).

One caveat is that virtual hosting doesn't work cleanly with the Zcatalog.
This will be fixed in Zope 2.3, but if you aren't running 2.3alpha, and you
are using the Zcatalog, then you'll need this patch:
