   However to access a CDROM, it has to be monted on the UNIX
   machine. This probably can be done with ISO CDROMs and with MS-DOS
   CDROMs, but probably not with Mac CDROMs.

It definitely can be done. Apple's own AIX based servers can and SGI's
too can mount Macintosh format CD-ROMs and if you can install netatalk
there, you have a CD-ROM server. And of course Linux can do it: see
Paul Hargrove's hfs_fs; http://www-sccm.Stanford.EDU/~hargrove/HFS/
for details.

I'm running a Linux based Appleshare server here at GMD and thanks to
netatalk and hfs_fs it happily serves a dozen Macintosh CD-ROMs to its
clients.
