The ZEO_CLIENT environment variable is used for two different things:

1. In ZEO.ClientStorage, it is used to determine whether it should use a temporary or persistent client cache. If persistent, the value of this variable determines the name of the cache. This is the documented and correct (IMHO) use of this variable.

2. In Zope, it is used to inhibit various things that shouldnt be done on every ZEO client, such as product initialization.

This means it is not possible to use Zope with a temporary Client Cache.
