If you're talking about "instance" as in installing a Zope  
$INSTANCE_HOME, then you could "prepare" a ZODB where you have done  
all that manually and re-use that for every instance you build out.  
If you run ZEO and they all connect to the same database there is no  
need - you switch it out once and all instances "see" that.
