it looks like from version 2.7 to 2.8/2.9/2.10 somehow the zconfig schema changed on zodb so that it is not possible to assigned a list of zeo servers to a zeo client.  this feature is critical if you have a 'stand by' zeo server.  i believe the schema type changed from 'string-list' to 'socket-address' which sounds like there needs to be 'socket-address-list' to have multiple host:port.

I'm not sure if the multiple server 'feature' is well explained.  it is alluded to in zeo's component.xml describing the server directive and saying its the host for databsae server(s).  

logging it here.  so it doenst get lost.
