[Zope] VHM and ProxyPass

I have found that I am having problems with ProxyPass and mod_rewrite only
if I attempt to use them at the same time that I am using mod_wl_ssl (The
weblogic proxy/rewrite stuff - absolute crap).

Evidently ProxyPass and mod_rewrite conflict with weblogic's stuff.  This
makes it impossible to virtual host content for both zope and weblogic from
the same apache install.

Does anyone know anything about getting those two to play nice?
