I think a generalization about ZK right now (at least based on my current perspective) is that it makes it too easy to run with scissors. ZK probably will work fine with all servers in an ensemble connected but if one goes away you need to be VERY careful about how you code your app. Kevin -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: San Francisco, CA AIM/YIM: sfburtonator Skype: burtonator Work: http://spinn3r.com
