Yes.  ZServer really restores Zope's original intent from the Bobo days:
publishing objects through a variety of protocols.  I think ILU support was
once attempted back in those days.  However, a Bobo app at that time could
only have one publishing mechanism (ie, CGI, PCGI, FastCGI, ILU, etc...).
ZServer allows for multiple publishing mechanisms in the same application,
allowing access to the objects through the web, through FTP, or through any
other protocol developed for ZServer/Medusa.
