I'm not sure why you don't want to use VHM here, or why you think it's 
ugly. I've never had /any/ luck with FastCGI, so I'm approaching this 
from the other end of the spectrum...

In Zope (with Apache), you only need /install/ a VHM - it is 100% 
configuration free, and will happily sit in the root of your Zope install.

In Apache, you just need a rewrite rule, which is not pretty but is not 
complicated either. See: -

...for the docs.

N.B. All my Apaches are 1.3.x - but I doubt if much if anything differs 
in 2.x...
