Yes but don't.

Hard disk speeds are slow compared to RAM, but they are a lot faster
than LAN speeds. Firebird is designed to read from a local disk, the
faster the better. You will get horrendous performance even on an
incredibly good LAN. You would also have to share the fdb file which
is another really bad idea, because you lose security, anyone can
become SYSDBA.
