apache/web site question...

hi... a very basic (i hope) question... i know i can have a web page that uses PHP/ASP/Etc... and i can do a kind of include, such that i can incorporate content/text from another file. i'm curious to know if there is a way to do that such that i can incorporate text from a file on another server on a separate domain/IP address??? any examples/sample pages demonstrating this would be helpful!!! I would like to be able to accomplish this from within the apache httpd.conf file if possible, where i simply define a website/page and the httpd.conf directive points to the file on the separate PC..... If this isn't possible, I'll take the PHP/ASP/Etc.. approach where I can include a file that resides on another completely different server/PC... thanks... bruce douglas bedouglas@earthlink.net (925) 866-2790
