This message was originally directed to Dieter Maurer. Unfortunately, I forwarded it to the Zope list in German. My apologies. Hier the English version: I would like to build a Zope proxy, one of the "special kind". The problem: I have a database which has a free ODBC driver for Windows only, and the client database which I want to access is also living on Windows. Accessing it works fine with Zope's ZODBCDA. The problem is now that our real Zope application must run under Linux, and I would like to use the same database there. So my ide was to have a small Zope running under Windows which attaches to the database, and for the real Linux server, I would write some proxy methods that makes the server think it has direct access to the database. Does anybody know whether something similar already exists? I know the Zope proxy, but I'd like to do a little more, something like a ZPROXYDA, which redirects everything to a different server. Does my approach make sense, or is there a simpler way? I cannot use any paid software since this project must stay completely open-source.
