I haven't tested it yet, but according to the marketing materials, that
is
precisely what internet file system option is all about. It's
essentially a
presentation layer which makes your database look like a remote file

marketing
materials, I haven't yet had the opportunity to see neither proper
manuals nor
software itself.
