[Zope] Can ZServer or ZPublisher be coaxed to return port 80 response..??

[Stefan H. Holek]

A fairly common setup is to have:

   Apache with appropriate VHM rewrite rules --> pound --> 2-n ZEO 
clients

If you don't want Apache in front, it is also possible to configure the 
VHM directly (inside Zope). Writing your own access rules and mucking 
with the URLs is neither necessary nor encouraged.
