It would work, but I consider it slightly odd to write a separate server
to handle requests for persistent IDs when you have a database that
supposedly should provide these features for you <wink>

Having said that, I think there *are* good solutions using the ZODB,
the patterns just aren't well-known or documented.

Take care,
