There are many session products for Zope.  One is CoreSessionTracking, which
can operate in "ASP mode" (e.g. chew up all the memory on your machine and
don't allow for a clustered solution without a session affinity manager), or
it can alternately use the ZODB for more sane memory consumption and
clustering via ZEO.  Its documentation explains in lots of detail how it
helps.
