How to access the files in another Unix box?

[davidKlein]

Suppose:
1. Apache is running in a Unix box A
2. Some html files reside in another unix box B;

How can it be configured so that we can display the html files in box B through Apache?

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

The only suggestion I can think, short of writing some complicated NSAPI style hacks, is to NFS mount the directory of box b to box a. I am not sure why you wouldn't simply replicate to box a.

Have you considered using the UserDir (mod_userdir) directive for an alternate server (the other Unix box)?
