[FX.php List] did Filemaker through PHP without FMServer come out?

[Jason H Awbrey]

Lynn,

This is definitely possible. We have run both the two and three-box  
model scenarios and they both work great. We currently have two  
xServes and several development machines that are running WSM/Apache/  
fx.php and are all making requests against a single FileMaker server.

HTH,
