I have to look further, but I think a good solution for local configuration issues would be a mountable database for specific sections (like products and some folders with database-connections and such) Imagine a situation where different instances of zope, connected via zeo have to use different database-connections (odbc for windows, any other for unix).
i think mountable databse is still alpha, even with filestorage. not sure whether it works if we use ZEO. one thing that still bothers me, how can we minimize conflict error? we cannot restrict users from making changes, updates. but users will complain for such errors. i'm looking at writing a howto use ZEO, and am looking for responses,notes from the gurus, what's good, what to avoid, good design methods, multiple storage points (still can't get to work), etc. i need pointers, help because i am a user not a brilliant programmer/developer like most of you guys are, and do not fully understand ZEO.
