[Zope] Storing blobs in a RDB

[Chris McDonough]

Do you really need your blobs in an RDB or do you just need them out of
ZODB?

FWIW, I've had pretty good luck with getting blobs out of ZODB with a
combination of http://www.plope.com/software/blob and NFS (for sharing a
filespace between appservers).
