if it's what I think it is, it's just called a directory :-)
let's see how I'm doing...
you've got a directory on one computer (fileserver) which is not part of the
LVS,
mounted under the DOCUMENTROOT of another computer (a webserver).
These webservers is behind an LVS director and you can access all the
stuff under the webserver's DOCUMENTROOT except
for the directory coming from the fileserver. You can't
mount the files from the fileserver to the webserver because
of a problem with netbios/RIP/VIP/WINS that I don't understand yet.
A part of the problem is that you can't export the files from the
fileserver to the VIP because the VIP is running on a linux
box which doesn't talk netbios.

tell me more about this. Why can't you tell the WINS box the name/IP of the
realserver and the fileserver and let them sort it out?

I don't understand the relevence of this yet.
