No because I want to use different ZODB's.
I have a management information system(MIS) used by teachers where the ZODB 
does not grow and all data is stored in a Postgres DB. The teachers 
authenticate against this machine. The students have an eportfolio system 
that runs on a different Zope server where the ZODB grows when students add 
work. I would like teachers to be able to log into the MIS and seemlessly 
visit the other student machine to grade work. As I have it, I would have to 
duplicate the acl_users folder for the teachers to both machines. It is this 
duplication that I am trying to do without.
