Including a remote file

Hi Folks -

I am new to the XML world, and I am looking for assistance, guidance,
direction, or an answer if possible.

Quick Question -

Is it possible to have a XML file pull in another XML document from another server?

Full Details -

I am working in an environment with 2 web servers. On server 1, I am
handicapped because I am not allowed access to change any of the program files or code on it (third-party software). Server 2 I have free reign. I can make minor changes to a XML file.

Server 1 is performing a number of primary functions and acting as the home
page. On that home page are a number of links to server 2, and there is
a "news archive" section. Currently, that news section points to a hard-
coded file (XML DC standard), which is ultimately useless for my needs -
Not the XML, just that it's hard-coded.

Server 2 acts as the interface to creating and saving news releated stories, and because I can program on server 2, I created a news XML generator.

What I want to do is modify Server 1's xml file to include/pull in/grab the
XML file found on Server 2 and use that for it's content.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug
