Multi Server Trigger Help

Hello all,
I need to see if something I have been tasked with is possible and if it is any help on how to code it would be much appreciated. Here goes,
Two servers SERVER-A and SERVER-B. SERVER-A HAS DATABASE-A with TABLE-A with COLUMNS 1 2 3. SERVER-B has the exact same scenerio DATABASE-B TABLE-B COLUMNS 1 2 3. I need to program a trigger that fires after *5911 gets inserted into S-A T-A C-1. This trigger needs to build a temp TABLE C on S-A D-A with COLUMNS 1 2 3 and populate it with the results of a SELECT statement ran on S-B D-B T-B the SELECT statement is simple:
SELECT COLUMN 1, COLUMN 2, COLUMN 3
FROM SERVER-B DATABASE-B TABLE-B
All columns are VARCHAR (50) NULL, this includes TEMP TABLE-C
I tried to simplify the scenerio as much as possible because I am horrible with triggers. It is more complicated then the above but if someone could help me with this I can go from here. Thanks alot to anyone that can help!

Questions:

Are the two databases on separate physical servers?

(If 'yes') Do you have a link built between the two servers so that they may talk to each other?
