Why not using ZeO + two Zope servers in front of it that both provide all
the functionality? You can put a proxy server (don't forget to switch off
the cache) in front of them. This proxy server then examines all request's urls
and forwards them to the server resposible for the requested functionality.

Remember: It's always better to have two identical systems and use it
differently than to have two different systems.
