AS someone said in a pub last night, Zope is to Python what J2EE is to Java, 
veryroughly speaking. So, unless the hosting company advertised being 
Zope-fluent, I think expecting them to know Zope based on Python expertise could 
be seen as a little harsh ;-)

Hmmm... maybe this instead:

http://64.5.48.153:8081/VirtualHostBase/http/enterprise-hr.com:80/www/VirtualHostRoot/$1
