Well, I know it is not a good idea, but this is what I was asked to
do.
HOST2 is a SAN storage, accessed via mapped drive. No way to install
FB on it.
And the customer doesn't want to deal with DB on the application
server.
I have read some articles on the web and pointed this is not a good
solution, but is what they want...

BTW: I also edited this line:
RemoteFileOpenAbility = 1,
but it didn't help...

Thanks!
