I am experimenting with multiple Zope sites behind one Apache. The Apache 
instance runs like it normally does (i.e. as user nobody), and 
communicates to Zope instances through PCGI. Each customer has its own 
Zope server running under his own userid. So they can stop and start they 
own Zope processes and install their own products...
