Interesting. One complication with that scheme is that ther is no
convenient place to put caching. If it goes between Pen and Zope, you
need many instances of your cache. If it goes between Pen and the
clients, Pen's client-clustering is defeated because it sees only one
client.

Ive been using squid with ICP to match *datasets* to servers.
