That's what NFS is for.
What about DMZes?
What about them?
Running NFS/MAPI/SMB from a DMZ to a LAN is not a good idea. The security
implications are rather huge.
No it's not. That's what firewalls are for. Firewall blocks all traffic to the web server, except port 80. Problem solved.
So when someone finds the exploit for the web server (perhaps a buffer overrun, or particular type of malformed request) and can run commands on the server, they have access to all the files in your LAN made available by NFS/MAPI/SMB? Sounds great...
