Do you run ZEO on standalone boxes? What are the advantages?
- zope restarts faster - you can connect to zeo with another zeo client and do administrative or debugging tasks without slowing down or interrupting your main zope server - e.g. packing, debugging with python.
What are the disadvantages?
- raw zodb performance is slower - you must take care to protect the zeo port. A sufficiently knowledgeable person with access to the zeo port can get access to anything in zope regardless of security settings.
Does it make a difference with dual processor servers?
sure, but to make good use of smp you need to keep each python process bound to a particular processor. How to do that depends on the OS. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's THE FEDORA! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
