Answer 1

See http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.plugins.html

The controller architecture includes a plugin system that allows user code to be called when certain events occur in the controller process lifetime. The front controller uses a plugin broker as a registry for user plugins, and the plugin broker ensures that event methods are called on each plugin registered with the front controller.

You are likely looking to hook into:

preDispatch() is called before an action is dispatched by the dispatcher. This callback allows for proxy or filter behavior.
