Zope is a powerful and fast server/application framework for *dynamic*
applications/code/content.

Apache is a really fast server of *static* content.

Use Zope to do what it does best and apache to do what it does best. Anyway,
with some rewrite rule magic and the use of similar html templates you can
make an apache-based file archives look transparent to your users and get
better performance while saving yourself som hassles in the long run.
