Since I have started using vmware ESX as a hosting platform for zope,

You may want to investigate GlusterFS instead. From our experiments, it works just fine for read/write. Locking is fine too. Would be advisable to setup ZEO instead.

Note that GlusterFS is still under heavy development, thus may not be suitable for production any time soon. ;)
