[Zope] Serving Zope and non-Zope Content

I am doing something similar and just wanted to check with the list
about a couple of other cases. I see how full references to
http://www.foo.com/bar/candy would continue to work with that set
up. But what if the html pages had links to "../bar/candy" or
"/bar/candy" or simply "candy"? would those all continue to work
correctly? or would they resolve directly to the non-local server? 

And Apache question I realize, but is there a way to write the proxy
statements so that everything EXCEPT /mydir gets proxied to Zope and
/mydir content gets served directly from Apache? For example, serving
your images directory from the file system via Apache and everything
else from Zope. 

Thanks,
