Basically from my understanding, the EQ client will not load zones that it doesn't recognize which is why Windcatcher created zoneproxy. What it does is backs up an actual EQ zone file and then renames your new custom built zone to the actual EQ zone filename and then passes it to EQ so the client will load it. When you are finished with the zone, zoneproxy puts all files back at their original names.
At any rate, I'm basically talking about stuff I haven't played with but have only read about.. heh.. Send your buddy to this link and he can get the official scoop and where to get the utilities created by Windcatcher.
