Ben, check out file() (http://www.php.net/file - they have an example on
that page that will do what you want). You'd have to create the files on
Server B with the same names, unless you have write access to the
httpd.conf.

If you have write access to the http.conf, look into apache's ForceType.
Basically you can create a file called www and make that your
DocumentRoot, then with apache's <Location> directive do a ForceType on
that www file to make apache always parse it as php. Then:

<.?php
$url = file( 'http://server-a.com'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'r' );
foreach( $url as $bit ) echo $bit;
?>

This should echo the page for you.
