In theory, at least on Linux, Intermezzo might be more appropriate for syncing code in the Zope software home. We plan on doing this with our next Zope setup, with the idea that the software homes stay synced when we do a cvs update of the code on our production servers, but they are still independent and local.

Then you will need to export a directory from a "central" location that can be mounted by each client. We use NFS sometimes for this, and one tip is to put the export on one client as something like /home/zope/share and mount it on every other client as the same name. Then you can address the files that go in the share the same from any machine. It also helps to actually put the Zope software home in a mounted filesystem so all of your clients share the same Zope code. This is generally required for ZEO and it's a reasonable way to accomplish it.

If we have ZEO (and other ZEO Zope clients) on a different box from our primary clients, how does that affect LocalFS? How does the path figure into that? Will FNS need to be setup and all the paths for each client point back to one central file system storage location? Just curious before we start spreading things out.

Thanks
