Yes: a single zeo server can deal with multiple storages (ie. a storage can contain mount points to other storages)
That's misleading wording, a storage knows nothing at all about mounts. The storage server can't do anything except for reading from and writing to ZODB databases. Mounting is a client concept only.
P.S. Or is the mount point totally controlled by zope.conf and nothing relating to the 'mount point' is stored in the storage?
You got it.
I am not sure about the most recent Zope/ZODB versions. But, up to Zope 2.8/ZODB 3.4, Jonathan was right: Beside configuration, there have been MountPoint objects in the ZODB that handled the mounting magic. While not completely impossible, I would be very surprised if the need for MountPoint objects were dropped in newer Zope versions... -- Dieter
