Go to www.apache.org and search for mod_proxy. If I'm understanding correctly
it will do exactly what you want. eg:

	1. Make sure mod_proxy available (either compiled in or as a module)
	2. Add a rule similar to below into your Apache config:

		ProxyPass	/zope/	http://127.0.0.1:8080/

	3. Now if a user requests something like:

		http://your.machine/zope/hello.html

 	    Apache will internally fetch

	    	http://127.0.0.1:8080/hello.html

	    And deliver it to the client (without them ever knowing).

Later,
