(I've fwd'ed this on the linuxkb list, since they're going to be the
sucke^H^H^H^H^Hpeople doing the zope install.)

I doubt it. I can do this just fine from userland. I was thinking apache
virthosting and a redirect command like this:

<VirtualHost www.oses.org>
ServerAdmin oses@seul.org
ServerName www.oses.org
Redirect / http://www.oses.org:8080/
</VirtualHost>

(where zope httpserver (or whatever 2.0 calls it) is living on 8080.)
