[ZODB-Dev] ZEO and Security

[John D. Heintz]

We are using CORBA to accomplish this.  See ZODBCorbaFramework on 
www.zope.org for the general idea of how we are integrating ZODB and omniORB.

ps - We are putting the final touches on our ZODBCorbaFramework and plan on 
releasing a new version as soon as we get through some performance and 
scalability testing.
