[nzlug] Plone Questions

[Greg Fawcett]

I'm looking at moving to Plone for my CMS needs, after using Mambo/Joomla.
The main motivation is that I find Python a far better development
environment than PHP.

My understanding of the architecture is that you have a ZEO server with one
or more ZEO clients connected to it, which in turn serve the website on
various ports - and you set up apache or squid to resolve domains and pass
requests to the relevant port.

But how do you handle multiple websites? Do you need to set up a completely
separate plone instance for each one? This seems a little resource
intensive, requiring at least two permanent processes (ZEO server and
client) for each one.

Or can you use one ZEO server for all clients? Or is there a way to host
several websites using one ZEO server/client pair?

Cheers!
Greg Fawcett.
