If all you do is redirect a few hosts and your rewriting needs are 
simple there is no need for a redirector. Simply do this:

- in the /etc/hosts of your Squid machine set the IP address for the 
hostname you're dealing with to the internal address where Zope listens

- put a VirtualHostMonster in the root of your ZODB and use the 
"Mappings" tab to define a simple mapping like...

www.myhostname.com		/path/to/site

voila.
