Some time ago the following patch was proposed to control the timing for opening the socket ports upon startup:

I propose to adapt the patch for Zope 2.11 since it is pretty useful especially when you deal with loadbalancers and have Zope instances that take a lot time for starting up (e.g. Plone :-)). Any objections?

If you have load balancers that only look for open ports (or a single instance with no load balancers even) this will improve the user experience for people who hit the site upon startup. IMHO it's more helpful to get a "connection refused" reply in a browser than a browser that sits and sits and sites...
Can we make this configurable? Earlier Zope versions had bound the ports rather late. When later Zope versions bound the ports early, I was quite happy. Unlike you, I prefer when the browser waits until Zope has come up over me having to reload manually until it finally is ready... -- Dieter
