[Zope] CMS/publishing system

I'm looking for opinions on Zope being used as a CMS/publishing system.
Here's some rough notes on our situation and my thoughts on Zope.

We run NT now, but would like the option of migrating to *nix. (Zope runs on
both.)

We want to deploy across 50+ sites. (Since it's open source, we'd spend our
money on customization/development rather than licensing fees.)

We'd prefer a browser based administration system. (Zope's already got a
very good one.)

Some questions I have are:

How well does Zope integrate applications/cgi's written in ASP, Cold Fusion,
Perl, etc...? As we've got a number of things we'd prefer to keep as is, and
run alongside Zope.

How does Zope deal with serving virtual domains off of a single NT box? What
approach would that require?

Zope looks like a really nice platform, any real-world evaluations would be
most appreciated...
(Besides what I've read on www.zope.org)

thanks...
