[Zope] VHM & Squid Problems

[Maik Jablonski]

hi,

I've done it a little bit simpler with squid as reverse proxy.

this howto helped me a lot.

SQUID runs on port 80 of my internet-ip,
ZOPE runs on port 80 of localhost.

then you don't need an external rewrite.

add simply your domains to the mappings-tab of the VHM.

cheers, maik
