QuestionIndexing Service catalogs-can you read them on a file server from the web server. Pin

Hello,
I'm going to try and explain my situation a simply as possible and hope that I get some advice on:
1. Can it be done?
2. Where to read about how to do it?
3. Is it the best way to do it?

Currently our website is on a 2003 windows server. It also has probably 40,000 PDF files located on the D: drive, with a spattering of some Word, Excel, various graphics and movie files. I have setup virtual directories to these folders so that the files are available for viewing on the website. Still no problem to this point. We have Indexing Services running on this server, so that there can be a text search on the thousands of PDF files located there. Again, still no problem to this point.

(NOTE) I am not the Network administrator here, though out of necessity, I have learned a great deal about IIS 6 and IIS 7.x. Our network administrator is, how should I say this, somewhat lacking in Network skills and knowledge.

They have purchase a new server with 2008 R2 on it, and because of our Network administrators lack of knowledge, I've been the one learning how to configure IIS 7.5 and copy our website, while converting it to .NET, over to the new server. Time consuming, but still no real problem at this point, except for the NA ability to set permissions so that the new server can read all the files and folders on the current website server. Those have slowly been corrected.

Now my PROBLEM, I have suggested that we have a stand-alone file server to hold all of these files, which grows at a rate of several thousand files a year. Continue to run the Indexing Services on that server so that it will have less impact on the webserver.

1. Is there a way to read the catalogs created by the indexing Service on another server from the code in my website on a different server?
2. Is this common practice to run a separate file server(especially with so may file) or is it best to continue having them located on the same server as the website?
3. Would trying to run a separate file server be more complicated because of the abilities of our Network adminstrator or should I just keep it simple?

I don't have the time to build, design, convert and otherwise maintain the very large website and learn everything about the NA's job too. However, I'm not opposed to doing some addition learning in that area if required.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
