Sorry, Ive no suggestions for your problem, but...
We're planning to split things up into a cluster that consists of multiple HTTPS proxies, some ZEO clients, a ZEO server and a hot ZEO server spare.
Do you have a plan for replicating data onto the second ZEO server? We are looking to implement a similar system and there seems to be no obviously good choice.
If you are running the ZSS on Linux, you can use a network block device setup that establishes a raid1 over the netwrok, and have it do a split read/write such that it only reads from the primary, but writes over the raid. Then, through the use of tools such as heartbeat/mon/linux virtual server setup that detects failure of the primary, that then remounts it's half of the raid as rewrite. Then through use of the RAID rebuild tools, when the first comes back up, you re-sync the RAID set, and switch back to the primary. Just one means of doing it. :) Bill
