An excellent plan.

Four comments:
1. ProxyPass typically requires a ProxyPassReverse.
2. RewriteRule is a bit more flexible than ProxyPass.
3. You'll want a VirtualHostRoot somewhere in that URL.
4. You probably want to serve something other than Zope's root.

Assuming you have mod_rewrite (you probably do) I'd comment out the
ProxyPass directive and try:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/
hudson.DouganConsulting.com/path/to/plone_root/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]

Where everything between RewriteRule and [L,P] should be on one line, no
space between http/ and hudson.


HTH,
