Hi there,

I've developed a few zope applications for various clients now, and I'm =
looking at offering them hosting facilities.

I'm trying to get a handle on the best way to run multiple 'sites' from =
one computer.  What I'd like to do is run x.com, y.com, and z.com from 3 =
different data.fs files.

My research over the last couple of hours points me to running a master =
data.fs, and using the siteaccess/siteroot products to redirect incoming =
requests to folders which are actually external storages.  Does anyone =
else use this approach?  If so, and there any tricks or traps I should =
watch out for?  If I wanted to replace the z.com data.fs with a new one, =
would I have to shut down the master.fs, or just copy the old one over =
the new one?

Does anyone run more than one instance of zope at once to serve multiple =
data.fs's?

What are the other approaches in use? =20

Suggestions?

Cheers!

Tim.
