I'll have to have a look at it - I've built my own tool to manage 
multiple ZEO instances across multiple hosts, as well as allowing upgrades
from development -> internal test -> external test -> production
along with starting up temporary servers and frobbing loadbalancers to 
make sure upgrades are transparent to the end users. This is probably a
tad overkill for most people, though.
