[Zope] Running Management Interface on Separate HTTP Port

My company is commited to implementing Zope for use on the extranet, and I'm 
kind of leading this new endeavour. One thing I stumbled across today was 
the issue of SECURITY. The Zope web app server and accompanying Oracle 
database will be run off the same machine on the extranet, so there's no 
security issue with our itnranet there. However, the consultant from the 
firewall company recommended that we use different HTTP ports for the 
customer interface/application and the management interface.

I couldn't find anything that could relate to that issue in the Zope 
documentation, and a search through egroups.com only showed some message 
from someone who thought the management screens could be shielded off by 
only allowing HTTPS, but that's a different solution. Does this mean it 
simply isn't possible (yet), or did I gloss over some obscure functionality 
that could pull it off for me?
