WndDbg Advise - Location of Source and Symbols

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Having concluded that I need visibility beneath the level of the VC6 IDE
debugger, I am engaging in the project of setting up for remote debugging a
MFC application using WinDbg. I have connected IEEE 1384 between two Xp SP2
computers, and I have the two computers connected on a simple Windows peer
to peer network with file sharing. I would like the Target computer to be
the computer with the IDE, source and symbols, and the Host to simply be
running WindDbg. Is this realistic? - or is more advisable to contain the
IDE, symbols and source on the Host, and use the Target only for program
execution?

P.S. Yesterday I asked for some assistance on getting Host and Target to
cooperate in the Microsoft Communities, VC++ Debugger weblog. In the
interest of courtesy, and not wishing to double-post on a question, this
question is for general for advise and to discuss pros and cons regarding
the location of source and symbols. Thanks!
