If you don't need Apache, you can run Squid in front of Zope directly, 
but Squid doesn't come with its own redirector (to create the equivalent 
of Apache's rewrite rules), so you'll have to find one or write one 
yourself. Because I already knew Apache well, and was using it to server 
other non-Zope content, I decided to put Squid in front of Apache in 
front of Zope. It has worked well for my purposes.
