1. Use VirtualHostMonster to point www.foo.com domain traffic to a 
different folder within Zope.  Works well on naked Zope if you use the 
mapping settings.
2. Rewrite the URLs for www.foo.com in your Apache directives if you run 
Zope behind Apache.
3. In designing your site, consider using a common header file that every 
page aquires... use it when you need to add something (like a redirect) 
across your whole site.  In the old days this might be <dtml-var 
standard_html_header>.

I like #1 and #2 better overall - point traffic away from your site, and 
create subdomain test.foo.com for your development purposes.  Then when 
it's ready, repoint foo.com and www.foo.com toward the materials you have 
finished.
