After all that sane advice on how to handle such clients,
ask yourself, what would Groucho Marx do?

If your client understands, that there is a DBMS server
involved, so that there must be a always-on computer
running the Firebird Server, but only wants the data files
on his seperate file server....

How about a hidden partition on the Firebird Server to hold
the database? You can use the file server to store the backups.
Don't forgot special code in your app that will crash it,
when the file server goes down.

Sorry,
Peter Jacobi
