Aargh!

As is so often the case shortly after I ask for help, I'm now feeling 
quite stupid!

I've spent so long staring at the rewrite rule, that I simply didn't get 
the "inbound" vs. "outbound" logic straight. I think I have it now - the 
rewrite rule formats a request to Zope, the VirtualHostMonster then 
parses that request for the VirtualHostBase to figure out how to create 
the Base URL, and the VirtualHostRoot to figure out where to serve the 
site from.

So, the Apache Virtual Host and the VirtualHostRoot take care of 
handling the inbound logic and the VirtualHostBase does the URL 
rewriting in the served pages.

Magic!

(Even if I don't have that right, I'm now serving pages!)

Thanks a bunch!
