I was hoping you wouldn't ask me that.  I haven't done this myself, 
which is why I suggested talking to a computer specialist, but I have 
read about it being done, so I know it's possible.  I know there are 
some family history centers that have put their CDs (which use a variety 
of software) on a network-attached storage device.  I'm sure the method 
for getting the software to locate the data varies depending on the 
software.

I wish I could help more. . .
