RE: [users@httpd] view contents of another server via web browser
.
Hi Owen.
"...If they are webservers, use mod_proxy..."
Do they have to both be Apache web servers? The unix servers currently run
on iPlanet web servers, but we are looking to come off this (they stopped
supporting iPlanet last year if I not mistaken).
The sharing using Samba is feasible, as is mounting the remote disks on a
filesystem level.
Thanks for the pointers.

If they are webservers, use mod_proxy, e.g.
ProxyPass /second http://second-server/
ProxyPassReverse /second http://second-server/
this will map http://first-server/second/file to
http://secodn-server/file.
Alternatively, if you can mount the remote disks on a filesystem level,
you can just put the paths to the disks in the DocumentRoot. You can run
Samba on the Unix server then you can mount it (i.e. "share" it) on the
NT server.
