Please stay on zope list too!

I've never used tramline, but after reading
short description on their page seems that you'll have simpler
configuration:
 - server A with Apache(and tramline) and a rewrite rule to Zope(8080)
 - server C with MS SQL Server - *without any webserver* - connected
with ZODBC
 - firewall that send any incoming connection for www.mydomain.it to
server A when protocol is http or https

In general seems that instead of real, large files, app server receives
only small
files that contain only unique identifiers of these real ones. Real
files are handled
by tramline and stored in specific filesystem folders.

When someone requests a file for download, application server sets
special header that
contains unique file identifier and this causes that tramline will
return real, big file to the
browser.

Upload similarly uses headers to allow or disallow uploading.
