CSS Stored on a different server

[zour1el]

I have a small issue where i work in a corp environment and we are forced to use CSS on the main webserver.

My webserver is on a different segment so i have been doing the ole

@import url ("//www.example.com/css/screen.css");

my server is say abc.city.example.com

which has been working fine. We now have another group using my webserver and pages in there org.

So i did the easy way out and imported all the CSS' and images to my local, but corp web gods slapped my hand.

How can i use the main server CSS repo so my team and the remote team that is tunneling use the same pages vs. writing the same page 2x

i did an import pointing to main server for my guys as well as import using the tunneled address. the problem is now the page takes forever to attempt to resolve the the tunneled address when it finally fails it loads fine for my guys.

Is this a technical or bureaucratic problem? This makes no sense either way. Are you developing new code but absolutely must use already existing CSS?

sorry for delay...

it is a little of both mainly bureaucratic problem made into a technical problem.

the good friends at Corp WebMaster he!@ forces all to use there CSS for colours maskhead etc....

so now i need to figure a way so the guys in my team within the Corp network can access it via internal.whatever.com as well as the guys that are "VPN" with serious lock downs but has access to internal.whatever.com via sigh.whatever.com
