There are quite a few known problems with "ZODBCDA" (see mailing list archives).

Zope does not support this but, of course, you can easily write
code to create new DA instances.

I probably would extend the DA (rather than create new instances).

Your approach would only be practically feasible when the connection
creation is fast (I think, MySQL allows for fast connection creations;
not sure how this looks like when access via ODBC).
