Perhaps i'm misreading, but if your customer is just looking to have two 
separate machines serve Zope content, then that's *exactly* what ZEO 
provides (among other things).  Perhaps you already know this, but ZEO 
clients provide multiple connections, via the network, to a storage 
server, with updated read-caching on the client side so you can get high 
performance, up-to-date access to the same storage on multiple hosts.

Replicated storage provides for multiple, coupled copies of the 
_underlying storage_, for reliability-assurance features that replication 
provides.

Which was your client's concern?
