Using a mapped drive for a verity collection?

[ColdDrink]

I am setting up a verity collection but I want to keep the collection on a
different server. I've been told that I can map a drive on the server and then
in the path for the verity collection, use that mapped drive. I've tried to
use \\server\share and also driveletter:\ in the path but I get an error that
it was unable to write to the collection. I also tried to setup a mapping and
use that in the verity collection path but that also gave me an error.

I want to keep the collection on a different server so that two servers can
hit the same collection. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Has
anyone tried this?

I'm using CFMX7.

We have the collections folder on server 1 and CFMX7 on server 2. I created an
index, searchform and searchresult cfm. The index.cfm holds the <cfindex
tag>information. I used a mapped drive as an entry for the "key" attribute.
The application will only work if the user's pc is mapped to that drive. I
have to come up with an alternate approach.
