I run a HPC cluster here that is primarily used for TPP.
XTandem runs on the cluster and the results are written to a common
disk space shared by all the nodes.
The shared space is NFS mounted to a separate server that runs the
rest of the TPP (PeptideProphet, ProteinProphet, etc...)

The cluster is never exposed to the outside world, only the dedicated
TPP server is. The TPP server runs apache so users can see their
results.

I would look into using NFS as a way of achieving your goal. If you
tune it right it's quite fast.
