      "manage_main" does, when accessed via Squid, "manage_workspace"
      does not ...

Zope usually listens on a port different from 80 (as this is
protected and requires a process running as root).
Therefore, the URLs it creates contain its port and not that
of Squid.

A SiteRoot might be enough to fix the port. But, I never
used "SiteRoot"s and much prefer VHM.

You can configure VHM to perform its actions without
external URL rewriting. VHM is documented on a
tab of VHMs ZMI.

I am no Squid expert. I know only what I read in the Zope mailing lists ;-)

What I understood: Squid does not directly support URL rewriting
but can call external URL rewriters (and there are such rewriters
implemented in Python). As you do not really use virtual hosting,
there is probably no need to perform URL rewriting by Squid.
