Another option is to use a single Zope, located on the intranet.
Internal users connect direct, using http.

On the internet use Apache to provide the https layer, and using
mod_rewrite to fetch pages from the internal back-end server using
http. External users always access Zope via this front-end proxy,
although they cant tell the difference.

You will need to use VirtualHostMonster so that Zope understands about
the different URLs for proxied requests.
