I dont do exactly what you are looking for but I do do this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://localhost:8080/zopefolder/$1?REAL_HOST=%{HTTP_HOST} [QSA,P]
ProxyPass /misc_ http://localhost:8080/misc_
ProxyPass /p_ http://localhost:8080/p_

Notice that I am passing the HTTP_HOST variable through as a query string
append. I do this because it is the only way (that I know of) to pass client
info to Zope. I then call it as I would any other zope variable. of course
you could do the same for IP or any other similar variable.

Hope this helps.

Tom
