Zope has its own Webserver. You want to run Zope behind Apache and Squid for caching and virtual hosting issues.
I thought zope could do its own virtual hosting?
using VHM
3. In terms of templating systems, do you find yourselves using DTML or ZPT?
DTML sucks. Use ZPT.
Why do you say this? I generally work on sites where its just me and no one else. For this purpose I find DTML much easier, quicker, and less verbose to use then ZPT. Of course, if we had a graphics designer that would be a different story. Or perhaps I am missing something about ZPT?
That's my personal opinion. DTML is inconsistent, and hard to learn for beginners and has several flaws in the design.
Mostly read or write access? Zope scale fine with ZEO. Lots of concurrent write might be a problem but there are ways to handle this. It depends on your setup how to approach the problem.
If he is using and RDBMS (I thought this was implied, might just be me) then the concurrent writes will not be an issue at all, any halfway decent database should be able to handle 200 or so concurrent transactions. This, of course, depends on your resource usage.
I was talking about using the ZODB. -aj
