You will gain nothing -- as ZEO does not implement a cache but forwards any request immediately to the storage. Its only task is to synchronize concurrent access to a single storage -- nothing else.
For my primary goal this whould do perfectly. Primarily I whan't the zeo at backup site just to foward the request to the main site. All I want is the i have only one place to change the config in case of a failure at the main site. Nothing more. Everything else whould be nice to have. But still the even just forwarding does not work right now.
Why would you want to use a ZEO server just for this relaying? Would it not be better to use a DNS name which you could remap at a central place (the DNS configuration) in case of problems? Or use a TCP forwarder. A ZEO server is definitely not appropriate just to relay requests. -- Dieter
