I think that this is a different beast.  We have plans for essentially
"client-server" support for the Z Object Datrabase, initially by hosting
the object database in an RDBMS.  This would not really solve the problem 
that started this thread.  David wanted to be able to do development on a 
machine that has a very slow (or, reading between the lines, intermittent)
connection to the production server.  In a client-server model, the development
server would be hampered by a slow connection to the database server.
