Hosting the contents of a subdirectory on another server, without redirecting?

I want to have a subdirectory on my site like domain.com/subdir/, but have all the contents of /subdir/ hosted on another server to the rest of the content and files on the domain. Thus allowing a user to browse through files on the domain, so they could go to domain.com/subir/page1.asp, but page1.asp is actually on the remote server, not the same server the rest of the domain is on. Does anyone understand what I%26#039;m talking about, and is it possible, and if so how.

I think this is called %26quot;hot-linking%26quot; and most of the public servers doesn%26#039;t allow this.



Just imagine i build a page (my_domain.com/subdir/frame1.html) that loads your page (domain.com/subdir/page1.asp) into my frame. Man! it%26#039;s your page, and I%26#039;m stealing not only your content, but also your bandwidth.



That%26#039;s the reason why it%26#039;s not allowed.
