[Setup] Multiple Plone sites in development and deployment

[Giovanni Toffoli]

Thank you Encolpe.
After understanding better the buildout general structure, now I also am 
convinced that in production it isn't convenient to fit more sites in the 
same buildout.
It is easy to share physically most of the recipes and eggs of Zope and 
Plone, keeping separate buildouts, instances and databases.
No problem in fulfilling my requirement of having, for each site, the same 
.fs name and physical path as in a multi-site development buildout..
As to RelStorage, I'll have a look in the future.
Giovanni

The major point of failure we experienced with such an architecture was
is a site is overloaded all others will be slowdown or worse with the
first one.
Why not to run a paster for each site and use RelStorage as ZODB backend ?
