What are Zope Network Clients ? I saw a reference on them at the bottom of the ZSQL guide.

The Z Network Client is commercial software that lets you do distributed processing in Zope. The basic idea is that you have a local object that is a proxy for a remote searchable object (such as a SQL Method). Local content managers can't tell the difference. Request information goes into the object, tabular data comes out. Behind the scenes, though, the request data is packed up and encrypted, sent to the remote object using HTTP, and the result is packed up and encrypted. There is an option for caching the results. Unfortunately, the Network Client is, like the rest of our commercial offerings, on hold as we finish up the two big releases (Zope2 and the portal toolkit) while also doing customer work. For any specific questions, please feel free to email me. --Paul
