Judging from how I've seen google sites behave they use something 
similar to how OpenID works: have a seperate authentication site which
sites a domain-wide cookie which is picked by the all the
application-sites. Those can verify the cookie internally and will
probably cache the result.

The Zope-specific bit is that the default Zope session setup does not (by
design) support Zeo clusters.
