[Zope] ZServer uncaptured python exception

[Thomas Bennett]

I have had similar instances with GSA on my Zope server in that it would try 
to index something like
/mydir/mydir/mydir/mydir/somefile.html

Often I've found the case is an href that references ../somethingelse.html

I don't know if this might be related to your case but you might want to 
check.   I had to finally end up using the  iptables rule already suggested 
and this was our campus GSA.  After talking to the owner of the GSA he told 
me he found a plugin or fix for Plone  for the GSA and we are going to try 
that to see if it helps with Zope.  But this is local so you probably 
wouldn't be able to ask outside entities to use this.
