I'll try and word this as sensibly as possible.
I have two dedicated servers that are networked together with local IP's (10.1.2.1 / 10.1.2.2). Basically I need to be able to include files (php scripts/html/etc.) interchangeably from either server, but without the risk of allowing external scripts to be run.
Is this possible?
Running CentOS 5 on both servers with full root access.

If both machines are networked, you could always create a virtual directory on the main web server that points to the network drive with the secondary PHP files.

Why not mutually mount the other server's drive and set PHP's include_path
ini-setting accordingly. This way you can safely include remote files without worrying about the usual attack vectors.
