So, what would you suggest for the following scenario?

o Site distirbuted via ZEO
o Using SiteAccess2 for virtual hosting sites under
  /vhosts/thissite /vhosts/thatsite
o each site is actually it's own full Data.fs

Under non-zeo, it's simple, use a mounted filestorage, and it works
quite well. Unfortunately, it doesn't work under zeo, for obvious
reasons. If I had time, I'd do a mountedZEOstorage, but time is too much
a precious commodity for the next few weeks/months. :/
