[Zope] CMF Site as default zope site

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Stefan,
In addition to use of a VHM as George recommends, it is worth adding that
you either want to be using Apache or Squid in front of Zope (with URL
rewriting abilities; make your forward web-server's url rewrite rules look
similar to the suggestions in the documentation in your VHM instance; Apache
uses mod_rewrite, and Squid can use a 'redirector' of your choice).  In
Apache, you set up the rewrite rules in each virtual host entry in
httpd.conf (though I think in Apache you can only do path rewrites?).  In
Squid, you use a redirector of your choice (I like
http://freshmeat.net/projects/pyredir) to control redirection (aka rewriting
of back end urls for the proxy).

One other note on Virtual hosting and Plone and/or CMF sites: an interesting
practice is the idea of using a single physical CMF site providing a unified
software and content base but having multiple skins, each representing a
different virtual host.  This utiltizes the toggleSkin recipe on zopelabs
(you can search for it there). This is useful in some, but not all
situations (and may likely not be useful in your situation, but on a
discussion about virtual hosting and CMF/Plone, it is worth bringing up).

Good luck,
Sean

use Site Access with Mapping (Virtual Host Monster). this will enable you to
map domains to paths easily.
