I don't know. Maybe it was able to resolve to a remote share where the
files actually are?

The connector needs to be able to resolve the existence of the file.
The connector lives on the web server.

The CF service needs to be able to read and compile the file. The CF
service lives on a separate box.

All that said, I would recommend that you ditch distributed mode if
that's an option, and use a reverse proxy instead. The advantage of
using a reverse proxy is that there's nothing CF-specific about the
setup, and you don't have to have your files in two places.
