After spending countless years being in exactly that situation in Indiana...
I can confirm that each branch of government has a host for their pages with a 5 year no compete clause. (each branch will have a seperate host) and that host is on the state backbone. to have direct file access your system must also be on that backbone... ask your client for a VPN access and a Login to their network (HAHAHAHA um no). Here the service is www.AccessIndiana.com and they do not allow outside sources to develop ASP/ASPX without their staff doing a code review. They refuse to do active pages in anything but ASP. Coldfusion is allowed on Intranets only. Its not even allowed on the Extranet! And your going to find a WIDE range of databases from oracle and SQL Server to Paradox (cold chill) and DB2. Have fun!
