Can you say lock management? :-) RIght now the POS doesn't support
multiple writers, and I don't think there's any way for ZServer NOT to
write to the database.  (I mean guarantee it).  So either you'd need to
wait for Zbase3 (is this the right name? :-) which has concurrent writer
support in theory, or figure out a way to guarantee that the apache side
of it not to touch it.  Also, you'd have caching issues, I'd think.
