Yeah, too bad, but making it better is complicated, and it can never
be perfect anyway.

You mean you can't allow the server even to be down for the less than
a minute it takes to restart it? I would honestly be very interested
in knowing what kind of systems you run that has that sort of
requirements.

But in any case, as mentioned by others here, multiple ZEO-clients and
load balancing fixes this for most cases.
