hm... I wonder if this wold be a common case if ZEO was included as a
integral part of Zope. I may be wrong, bur aren't there benefits of running
ZEO even on a single machine (i.e. stability and/or redundancy)?

I know I allready now could need the functionality of ZEO on a single
machine
(and I am about to use ZEO as soon as I fix some non-ZEO-able issues in our
app).

I thought you had to install ZEO on top/inside of an existing Zope
installation. Will this be different in Zope 2.7?

Thanks,
