Now, what do I need to do for a common temp_folder across ZEO clients? I see how to configure DBTab for it, but I don't see how to make it be something that the ZEO server serves up. Do I need to define a storage like I would the other FileStorage storages?
Well, three options: 1. Mount up a TemporaryStorage on each ZEO client. This is what Zope does by default. You ZEO clients will each have different data in temp_folder 2. Make a persistent storage on or your storage server and mount this up as a ClientStorage at /temp_folder on each client. The clients will all have the same temporary data, it just wo't be very 'temporary' ;-) 3. Run up a TemporaryStorage on the storage server, mount this as a ClientStorage on each client at /temp_folder. Should be consistent across ZEO clients and not take up disk space on the storage server. You may need a fair bit of RAM on the storage server though, and this may notwork at all... The best person to ask would be Chris M. I'd love to know what the 'official' way is to solve this problem... cheers, Chris

I looked at the DBTab Product. It meets a lot of needs of separating databases to, for example, individual users. I'm not quite clear if it can do what I need though.
DBTab lets you mounts multiple storages, including those served from a ZEO server. What I would like to be able to do, is to have a single ZEO server serve up the objects. That way if I have multiple ZEO clients, I don't have each one mounting all of the databases. Would this be at all possible?
At the moment I have a single server, but I am running Zope in a ZEO configuration. As clients sign on, I want to be able to put their Data.fs file where I can keep track of quotas. I would potentially have other ZEO clients, but I don't want to run a ZEO server instance for each ZODB I want to mount on multiple ZEO clients on multiple physical servers.
Maybe what I'm asking is insane. :-) Please let me know your thoughts.
