Burning files straight from server?

Onto a workstation with a CD-RW on the network.

I just wanted to know if anyone does this on a regular basis. All the better if you do it at your place of work. If you do, what is your network/server/workstation setup?
 
As long as the drive has burnproof and the software activates it you won't get coasters, but I don't think many people do this because the network is so much slower than the hard disk (usually).
 
At work i always copy it to my local drive before burning. I don't do this often, normally just for archiving, but when i do i figure the data is important enough to add that little step.

We do backup to tape over a 10/100 network mapped drive, but tape drives pull data alot slower than your CDR drive will.
Guess you could burn straight off a mapped drive, if you did make sure the CDR drive has some sort of burn-proof tech.
 
I burn large video files off my network drive all the time on my home 10/100 network. My cd-rw drive doesn't have burn proof and I have no problems at all.

My network drive is on my file server and it's by no means a fast computer, just a Pentium 233 with lots of storage space on my local network.

The computer with the burner is a P3 800 with a 8/4/32 cd-rw drive.
