Under Unix, you'd have to use NFS. However..

If you are only able to run a WWW server on one machine due to security
reasons, NFS is probably *totally* out of the question.  In fact, I
can think of *no* way for the WWW server to be able to access the archive
files on the Listserv machine securely enough to not make it an issue.

Either that, or your "security reasons" need to be re-evaluated.  Is
the *real* problem that your firewall people are too lazy/lame/whatever
to open up port 80 for a second machine?  Are the WWW and Listserv
machines on different software platforms, and you don't have the in-house
knowledge on how to secure an http server on your Listserv platform?

If you could be more specific regarding what the "security reasons" are,
one of the security-minded gurus on the list (I know there's at least
a few ;) may be able to come up with a solution.
