Not a "rush".  A "bind" would be more accurate. Sometimes,
you don't have any way to gain control of the httpd.conf
file or any other way to configure Apache -- just FTP access,
and the people who do have access are utterly
unresponsive to your needs.

This can happen in certain kinds of organizations, and politics
can easily trump technical considerations.  ;-)  I agree it isn't
pretty, but it's the only way I know to make a Zope site
accessible from a static website without any access to the
web server's configuration.  It's just one of those duct tape
and chewing gum solutions. ;-)

Cheers,
Terry
