Hi all, I'd like to understand how the communication between the ZServer and the ZODB works. As far as i know the ZServer (Web server) talks to the ZPublisher (ORB) to get the Requested Object. But do they communicate via tcpip sockets or unix sockets? They communicate by Python Method call :)

From 100km overhead it looks like that: ZServer gets a request, handles all the protocol specific stuff, and gives it to ZPublisher. ZPublisher than gets the application object it publishes and traverses the tree to find the right method to call. The application object is usually (in the Zope case) fetched from the ZODB.
