Remote .forward lookups

[Gordon Cook <gcook@credit.erin.utoronto.ca>]

Our site has two main servers: one strictly for mail and one the users log
into.  Their home directories are housed on their home machine.  Is there
a way (other than NFS mounting the partitions) to query the users machine
for their .forward file information?  My guess is that someone has run
into this problem before and I wouldn't want to "re-invent the wheel". 

The reason why NFS mounting is not a viable alternative is not easily
explained and not particularly relevant to the problem, anyway. 

If it is relevant, we are running SunOS 4.1.4 and Rayan's zmailer.

Thanks for your time and any hints or pointers.
