I've created a wiki page to capture my thoughts on a simple model for "mounting" Zope databases. See: http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/ZODB/MountedDatabases This is actually something we are working on and we hope to have some useful results soon. The biggest potential stumbling block is the ZClass support. Stay tuned. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Technical Director (888) 344-4332 Python Powered!
