Either use the Zope database and ZEO, or a replicated SQL backend such
as Oracle. It really depends on whether your data model maps better to
the ZODB or an RDBMS. ZEO would still prove useful with an RDBMS backend
to keep the Zope instances synched. Likely a hybrid approach such as
this would work best.

Unfortunately the Open source world lacks a RDBMS that has robust
replication. It is something that has been discussed for PostgreSQL for
some time, and I suspect it will eventually be implemented in it. Until
then...
