If you want multiple "virtual" servers with content stored on a single
Zope server, then Virtual Host Monster is what you want.  Presently I do
this with Apache as the front end, using re-write/proxy to talk to a Zope
server behind a firewall.  If the Zope server is on the same box, PCGI
should work too.

In Apache, you just map everything from a particular virtual host to the
respective path on the Zope server.  There are several examples of how to
do this, just search on Virtual Host Monster and look for Apache RewriteRule
configuration stuff.
