It might help to know why you want to do this. A frequent
recommendation on this list is to have the repository on a local hard
drive of the http server, not for example on a network share. Many
users try putting repositories on NFS shares, and some probably get it
to work, but many end up writing to the list when it doesn't work. It
depends on having an NFS implementation that supports locks and is
configured properly.

But it's probably possible to set up http on both servers with one of
them proxying requests to the other. I think I recall some users
reporting success with that here. I haven't tried setting up proxying
before but the Apache documentation should be able to tell you how to
do it.
