That should work fine.
Should be simple to test too. I assign several additional server scoped vars directly in Witango.ini without issue. Since Witango is executing the fetch directly, IIS/apache has nothing to do with it. You can also reference a windows network resource: \\server_name\share\folder\dsn.inc <file:///\\server_name\share\folder\dsn.inc> Just be sure you double check your backslash usage, and you are correct in that the wintago.ini file uses backslash as an escape character, so they need to be doubled up.
