I had a similar problem when a hosting company started using a load
balancer. I wanted to share a file from a subdomain amongst various
other subdomains (it was actually a file containing some exchange rate
data that I wanted to be common between various subdomains).
The hosting company's support people gave me their solution:
include
'http://www.sub.mydomain.dom.web-internal.hostdomain.net/myfile.php';
Maybe your hosting company can do something similar ...
