Is it possible to mix a local storage (a filestorage as the root) and mount a ZEO
server storage as a "mounted storage".

What I really want is several independent Zope servers sharing a mounted
database (containing shared resources, eg. template files, design elements etc.). 
If that is possible I suppose it could be either read-write or read-only.
In that way all clients could share an application, for instance a webbshop or
a user tracking application or a browser tracking application.
