-> deployment process, you could consider using a load balancer, 
-> set up to point to the primary (development?) server normally, 
-> and switching it to a backup one when things fail.

	FYI: "load balancing" is not equal to "fail over".  "Switching it
to a backup on when things fail" describes a fail over system, where no
load balancing is happening.  (If it were load balanced, the 'backup'
would already be taking traffic just like the 'primary' normally.)

-> tool 'balance' from balance.sf.net

	Thanks for the reference, I'm very interested in any load-balanced
and/or fail over systems for Zope.


Thanks,
Derek
