How do I integrate a 3rd party non-zend application into my Zend Framework application?

I am trying to create a ZF application that also includes Mibew Messenger which offers live chat support to visitors. Ideally I would like it to go through a controller which does some initial setup before redirecting to the non-zend app.

Eg. http://example.com/support/ goes to the SupportController, the indexAction checks to see if the user is logged in, if so, checks their access and redirects them to either the /mibew/client/index.php or /mibew/operator/index.php of the non-zend application but make it appear to be example.com/support/client/ or example.com/support/operator/.

I'm fairly new to setting up ZF and I'm at a loss as to how I would go about doing this if it is at all possible. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on a shared host, the file system is pretty much vanilla except the root includes a .htaccess and index.php, the .htaccess has only:

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* index.php

index.php just includes public/index.php

You would have your controller do whatever handling needed to be done, and you would setup some rewrites in htaccess for the external application to live at.

ie in .htaccess:

RewriteRule support/client/ mibew/client/index.php

you would then do the redirect. Unfortunately you cannot have both the setup script and the final application at the same url without doing something nasty involving frames or similar.
