Accessing images from a different server

["Kairam, Raj" <Ka...@coned.com>]

I have Apache 1.3.12 running on a HP-UX 11 (Machine_A).
The document root is /usr/local/apache/htdocs.
I need the ability to make images on a different HP-UX 10.20 (Machine_B)
available for users from a web browser.
The images are in a directory /vault30 which is exported on Machine_B and is
nfs mounted on Machine_A.
In other words from Machine_A I can cd to /vault30 and see the images (
217359-0-2.tif) as if it is a local file.
I have the file /usr/local/apache/htdocs/index.html which has the following
line
<P><IMG SRC="/vault30/217359-0-2.tif"><BR>

Create an Alias to the vault30 directory in your httpd.conf file, like so:

Alias /vault30 /vault30
