As to the direct question of two servers accessing the same file via SAN, I
don't know. But here is an option we are using.
I have two Linux Servers, a Web Server & and SQL server. Our web server
resides on both the internal & external networks (two nics), with some
firewall software installed (IPTables). The outside network accesses the
webserver and the webserver accesses the SQL server. Therefore no one on
the outside can directly access the internal network & the SQL
server. Anyone using a SQL GUI interface or and scripting language would
not have direct access to the SQL server. They would need to access the
webserver which has programs on that allows limited in-direct access to the
SQL server. Hope this helps.
