While I am a supporter of FoH paladins ( I have a few pvm ones....which yes, is possible - I have a few versions of it, but only 1 present on the realms) I don't support the use of FoH on a zealot as it spreads your goals too thin imo....makes you more of a jack of all trades than a zealot.....And only class I've really seen that can pull off a Jack build successfully is the Necromancer, and very rarely a sorceress (rarely = I saw a melee tri-elementalist who could actually do decent damage once) - Paladins are better suited to the roll of precision damage w/ team support in my eyes... and if you plan on using zeal - I advise greatly in favor of any ring with life leech over a soj. That's just me though.
Smite is a useful skill for an FoH'er yes....but at best it will be secondary because there are simply too few points to make both of them go to their maximum, and most people who do that are FoH over smite in my experience.
Paladins are diverse...there are many builds...and yes, it is possible to hybrid almost anything, but if you're not careful you'll end up being able to do a whole lot of nothing instead of a little bit of everything.
Those are just my opinions though....don't know if they count for much here yet.

One who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be in danger in a hundred battles.
One who does not know the enemy but knows himself will sometimes win, sometimes lose.
One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself will be in danger in every battle.
