Hi Dennis,

You can determine the configuration file with an option:

/usr/local/sbin/pound -f /etc/pound/pound.cfg

To set up several virtual hosts with Pound read:

http://www.apsis.ch/pound/

For Zope: Set up a VirtualHostMonster (=> Mappings) in each Zope which 
maps the server-name to a folder, from which the site is served:

alpha.mydomain.com/alpha/site

That should do the trick.

Cheer, Maik
