If it is mounted by NFS onto the web server as you say, can't you turn
on FollowSymLinks in the apache server and point a logical link over to
the mounted filesystem? Then it would appear as if it was in your
document root [ie part of your intranet] and you wouldn't need to use
the file:// sysntax, nor would you need it NFS mounted on anyone else's
machines.
Just a thought.
