Why not the other way around, i.e. forward requests with apache?
Seek zope.org for a howto (search for something like 
apache+mod_rewrite+proxypass).
Then you just need an additional access rule which causes apache not to 
proxy requests to http://myserver:80/TUTOS into zope.
If you don't find how to do that in a howto on zope.org, consult the 
mod_rewrite documentation on apache.org, you need to put a [L] after the 
access rule which matches TUTOS to indicate the rewrite engine to stop 
there.

Oh, and it seems you misunderstand what VirtualHostMonster is supposed 
to do: it just uses information of the request URI to "correct" the URIs 
which are autogenerated by zope.
