Although I can't comment on the original message, because I simply don't understand what could be causing the intermitted Internal Server Errors other than a corrupt ZODB (have you looked in the Utilities directory. Running bbb.py might give you some insight into what is causing the problem if it is a ZODB problem), I can say that I have experienced this when accessing a non-existent object via XML-RPC on a Zope installation running ZServer and NOT an external HTTP server. Basically, I misspelled the object I was trying to request and it sent back an error formed something like: Internal Server Error(404 Not Found) Or something to that effect... which seems to me that either two errors are somehow occurring and combining (an examination of the ZServer code says that this shouldn't happen and a general knowledge of HTTP servers also supports that theory) or something else is going on... duh! Now, when I access the same misspelled object via an HTTP client, I get the Zope error screen and just a 404 error. I just thought I would contribute and let people know that it's not just happening with external servers and to see if anyone knows why this error occurs under XML-RPC.
