I'm a bit confused as to why you would want to do so. Why not just put them on the same server?

probably not, no, php runs as a module of Apache, so separating php and Apache in such a way would be horribly inefficient at best, impossible at worst, that being said, you CAN keep your php SCRIPTS on an NFS server by simply pointing the document root of the web server at the NFS mount point in your Apache configuration file.

i've worked in a situation where i created an environment as i mentioned in my previous post, apache/php on one server, document root on another via nfs, you could have apache/php on that as well, but as even you admit, what the client wants is impossible, so i guess the best answer is to tactfully explain WHY it's impossible and propose a more sensible alternative.

Thank you for suggesting... i hope they can understand.. that it is really impossible for that kind of setup...
