FWIW, normally put apache on port 80 and the "other" web servers on
ports like 8080, 8888, etc. and then use mod_rewrite or mod_proxy or
mod_jk2 (for tomcat) or whatever to get the requests funneled back and
forth.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html

However, it sounds like the linked article from elsewhere in this
thread points to how Zope can handle this duty well enough :)

Having Apache in front may just be more of a "right tool for the job"
thing from my perspective, but it's certainly possible that my lack of
familiarity with Zope is dominating that opinion :)
