[Zope] apache rewrite quit working

[Thomas Bennett]

Zope Version 	(Zope 2.9.7-final, python 2.4.4, linux2) 
Python Version 	2.4.4 (#1, Oct 23 2006, 13:58:00) [GCC 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)] 
System Platform 	linux2 
SOFTWARE_HOME 	/var/zope/lib/python 
ZOPE_HOME 	/var/zope 
INSTANCE_HOME 	/var/zope 
CLIENT_HOME 	/var/zope/var 
Network Services 	ZServer.HTTPServer.zhttp_server (Port: 80)
ZServer.HTTPServer.zwebdav_server (Port: 9800)

(Red Hat 4.1.1-30) is actually Fedora Core 6

Campus maintenance tested the backup generator this morning.  
When the power was cut off the circuit breaker tripped on the battery
 backup that kicks in momentarily until the generator takes over so 
all hardware rebooted.  After starting zeostorage and zope I found 
the apache rewrite rule that has been working since at least April 3,
 2007 has quit working.  Zeo, Zope, and apache have been restarted 
quite a few times since April 3 and worked fine.  This is the first time 
the server has totally rebooted since that date.  

NameVirtualHost 152.10.10.8:80

<VirtualHost 152.10.10.8:80>
  ServerAdmin bennetttm at appstate.edu
  ServerName www.library.appstate.edu
  ServerSignature Off
  RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/libweb-rewrite_log
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/libweb-error_log
  LogLevel warn
  TransferLog /var/log/httpd/libweb-access_log
  ProxyVia on
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
  RewriteRule .* - [F]
  RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8086/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]
</VirtualHost>

Since apache quit rewriting I have changed the Zope port to 80 so we 
could get back online.  The rewrites

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
  RewriteRule .* - [F]

were added in after a nessus3 scan from suggestions on the report 
but the server had been running fine after that.  The syntax is correct 
according to httpd -t.

Any suggestions on getting or testing apache rewrite, or problems seen
with my rewrite rules would be appreciated.

If it's not as simple as possible to try it, then the barrier to entry is too high.
