that's a very common way to use it...

No. Read the VHM documentation again, specifically the stuff about 
the "Mappings" tab and "standalone" zope.

However, when I tried to use the simple example from Zope.org at http://zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess2/vhosting, I couldn't get even the simple DTML Method code in Example 2 to work.  It just didn't seem to do anything.  Is that example current with the site access and access rule functionality in Zope-2.6.2?

I think that document is pretty old. Most people use VHM these days.
