Topic: ISAPI Filters and Shared Folder access?

We're trying to write an ISAPI filter that reads configuration information from a file. Since we have a large installation with quite a few web servers, we'd like this configure information to come from a shared filesystem, so that all the web servers can read the same data, and we only have to manage it in a single location.

We have the filter working - if the file is on a local hard disk. If we try to access a shared filesystem, it doesn't work. We know it has to be a permissions issue, but we can't figure out why IIS can deliver the file (if you call it from an 'http://' request - IIS can deliver it back to the browser), but the filter can't open it and read it.

Does anyone know how to get this working? (Or know of a person/resource we can use to figure it out?)
