I have a intranet server (using windows auth) and a file server that I
want indexed.  Should I have the intranet server index the file server?
I don't think the file permissions stay intact with this option.  Should
the file server index itself?  Can the intranet server read/access the
catalog on the remote server?

Thanks

There's different problem worth avoiding: it's pretty complicated do detect
changes on remote filesystem - polling sucks

My advice is having indexing service/catalogue on the file server and access
the catalogue remotely from web server - it's as easy as

.Catalog    = "query://fileservername/cataloguename"

ofcourse you'll have to do some relacement in result path - it's clear at
first sight

P.S. don't forget proper security ...
