I have two sites that really need to be on seperate servers for both load balancing and security purposes. However, it would be a great benefit to myself and my users if I can have one Zope installation interact with the other installation so that I can automate some user processes. I still want these machines to be seperate and their users to maintain server-exclusive permissions. I just want the Zope A system to have access to some resouces on the Zope B system when dynamically generating some pages so that I can automate these processes in the background. To make the question more specific--if that helps--I would like to have one server run a script that accesses ExtFile objects in one particular Folder on the other server and create copies of those objects on the calling server on a timed basis using something like the Xron product. Should/could this be done with an external method somehow? I figure this is the most likely avenue available, if at all. Or will I need to wait for ZEO before I can pursue a solution for this situation? Thanks for any help offered! -- Ryan T.
