That is probably a good idea for long term to change things that way and I 
would like to rewrite it. However right now I don't really want to rewrite 
the way the current system works. I had hoped I could just use 
get_transaction().commit() almost immediately after seeing the data from 
Verisign. 

I do like the idea of ClockServer though and I will probably start playing 
with it soon to see how it will work for me. Does it work with zope 2.9 also?

Thanks
