Although I said that pets handle grouping the same as solo, ie if they outdamage the rest of the group then there is a penalty...
That is just what I have heard posted before.
I'm not totally convinced there is actually a penalty for being outdamaged by your pet. After much soloing using minimal spells myself (because I thought we got full xp for doing *any* damage) I seemed to be getting quite good xp anyway.
The zone modifiers are another possible myth. I did lots of soloing in loio with my druid (using a charmed pet doing over 95% of the damage) and the xp per kill was fine.
I wouldn't think the pet's proportion of xp is part of the data files anyway, so I am somewhat skeptical about the ability of this server to have specific rules. If they could change the program code then the sit-meditate thing would have been fixed.
