Brad, One tool that is useful for prototyping clusters is User Mode Linux (http://www.usermodelinux.org). If you want to test the functionality a cluster configuration on a single (or a couple) boxes without the cash outlay for those machines, you can set up UML "sandboxes" for your Zope servers and ZEO servers (and cache servers, as necessary). It obviously won't be as *fast* as having N many boxes, but it can let you get the config right before you deploy to that many machines.

We're planning to use mod_backhand (spread) or something like it to distribute web requests to ZEO clients on multiple machines..
You should think about using Squid as reverse proxy when your content is mostly static...this will improve your performance significantly and reduce your costs for ZEO clients.
Thanks for your suggestion. However none of the data is static except a few images. All pages have dynamic content pulled from a database.
This site is for an export brokerage company that reships packages on common carriers in "the destination country". We automatically track all shipments on all carriers (25+ different carriers) and present the customer with a single uniform view of all their shipments, export status, charges and tracking details.
