Zope behind a gateway server capable of SSL is the most common, and
best solution.  Setting it up isn't any different from setting up a
virtual host behind a gateway server as documented in the Zope Book.
WRT the use of gateway HTTP servers being abnormal ... its not.
ZServer isn't a particularly robust or compliant HTTP 1.1 server, and
it needs to be protected by a gateway server which has taken those
things into account, but ZServer is adequate for acting as a
persistent front-end for your publishable data which is something too
specific to be handled by a gateway server like squid or apache.

Also, Please read the list charters[1] before you post to them to
ensure you use the right list for questions of this nature.
