i don't use serweb and thus can't comment on it, but what you need to do
is to write fifo commands on web server host A to the network, i.e., to
the address and port that fifo relay is listening at B.  that requires a
little socket programming on the web server host.

it is used on the ser proxy host only and the client that talks to it is
on the web server host.

there is no need to run any web server on the proxy host, just ser and
fifo relay.

as i said, i don't know, but i assume that serweb currently writes fifo
commands to the local fifo file and you need to change that code and
make it to write them to the network instead.
