The usual way to do this is to use a Virtual Host Monster and an Apache 
RewriteRule directive (although you could also use Squid or Pound or 
some such that does the same thing. See the Virtual Hosting chapter of 
the Zope Book. In this way any folder-like object (like a Plone site) in 
Zope can be mapped to a domain or subdomain.

I don't know exactly how your hosting situation works (there are many 
bizarre setups out there) so it's hard to say exactly. For instance, I 
have no idea what the 'foo.com -> /home/myAccount/foo' means and it 
looks to me like you're serving the Zope code.

Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design."
