It should work if a single ZEO server is the only client of RelStorage.

In that case, it sounds like you want to set up multiple ZEO servers as 
clients of RelStorage.  In that configuration, I suspect the ZEO servers 
would not update each other reliably.

I haven't tried Zenoss yet, but surely it can be configured to open a 
storage other than ZEO.
