[Zope] Vhosting

[Quentin Smith]

Hi-
Use a Virtual Host Monster, one in the root of the site. Ideally, you 
should put Apache or Pound in front of Zope instead of squid, but you 
can use the Mappings tab of the Virtual Host Monster to define the 
virtual hosts. I used to use SiteRoots for my site, and none of the 
directions I found actually worked.
HTH,
