you want something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/zope/(.*) http://zope/$1

this, will, however, issue an HTTP redirect, that will cause the URL
http://www/zope/foo to appear as http://zope/foo

if you wish to completely hide the fact that the zope stuff is on the
second server, you can also use mod_proxy, to get www to proxy for the
zope server, in which case, you can change the rewriting to:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/zope/(.*) http://zope/$1 P

(the P stands for "proxy" unsurprisingly :)
