[Zope] Fiddly Apache Rewrite / VHM Configuration

[Philip Kilner]

Hi All,

I have a situation where I need to map a /path/ below an (already 
redirected) host name to a different site.

So, I have: -

	Site1.com -> Site1PathInZope

...but now I need to add: -

	Site1.com/path -> Site2PathInZope

This is another ISA server issue - I am serving these sites through ISA 
server, which has a single host name protected by SSL, and is capable of 
redirecting based on the path, but not of stripping off the (then 
redundant) path. I have successfully set (in ISA server) a forwarder to 
direct requests with the path in question to the correct site in Zope, 
but the forwarded request still has "/path" appended, so instead of 
going to "Site2PathInZope" they are calling "Site2PathInZope/path".

Is there a way to strip this redundant path from the request in the 
rewrite rule / VHM set-up, as opposed to modifying the folder hierarchy 
in Zope (which I can see that I could do, but seems inelegant, and would 
have the effect of obfuscating Zope's set up in this case)?
