It seems like you are implying that we need to have CVSNT or a CVS 
client running on our staging server as well as our production 
server? That doesn't seem right.

Or can CVS push files out to a directory that is (a) referred to by 
its UNC name and (b) on a server that isn't running CVSNT or a CVS 
client?

Sounds like what I want is a postcommit script to sync a directory 
on the dev server, which directory can then be used to copy files to 
staging and production.
