Yes.  The database should be inside a ZEO storage server.  ExternalMount
can mount ZEO ClientStorages (that's how www.zope.org/Wikis works) and
AFAIK you have the opportunity to provide a "read-only" parameter to the
storage or the database.

In fact, when you mix in ZEO you can mount the database on one client
while using it as the root database on another client.  That way you can
get around the lack of undo.
