[Zope] Virtual Host Monster mapping behavior

I wanted to access Zope using HTTPS without using Apache (just because
it seemed like overkill).  I managed to get things to work using stunnel
to wrap everything in SSL:

stunnel -d 8443 -r 8080

and using Virtual Host Monster to rewrite the incoming URLs with an
entry on the Mapping tab (instead of using Apache to rewrite):

myhost.com/VirtualHostBase/https/myhost.com:8443/VirtualHostRoot

This seems to work just fine (on Zope 2.7).  My question is whether
this is a supported use of the VHM mapping feature.  The docs I've
seen don't mention use of the VirtualHostBase and VirtualHostRoot
elements in a mapping; they emphasize mapping host names to folders.
