Dylan,
Thanks again for your note.

Well, if I have my main site in a folder below the Zope root, I assume
that I'd have to tell it what content to place there, so in my case,
using Plone, wouldn't it be necessary to create a Plone instance there?
If I decide to host a different domain in a separate folder, I would
imagine that I would want a separate Plone setup for that domain?

Hmmm, from the 2.6 Zope book:
Virtual Host Monster Mappings Tab
Use the Virtual Host Monster's Mappings tab to cause your URLs to be
rewritten if:
* You run a "bare" Zope without a front-end webserver like Apache.
* You have one or more folders in your Zope that you'd like to
publish as "http://some.hostname.com/" instead of
"http://hostname.com/a/folder".
That sounds like they are both usable, but mutually exclusive.
I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here - I want to understand more of
how to set Plone up before I get off on too many tangents.
Regards,
Des
