Hmmm, I haven't checked this recently, but.... InterBase did support the use
of NFS, i.e. it was possible to have a database installed on an NFS mounted
disk and access it from multiple systems. I can't remember the precise
set-up details but I know is was doable in 4.0, and should still be doable
now.

NFS should work, as it actually makes a Network drive really look like a
local drive.

Oh - and shadowing across the Network, should also work correctly using
NFS.
