The network drives are on a filer (a NAS array, I believe). The filer will not execute any code, it just serves data by whatever protocols (example: CIFS, NFS) it is set up for. I have MySQL running on my client machine for development, populating itself from csv files out on another network drive which a perl cgi script updates.
