You might be able to rig things so that you are linking to a true static page when you need it. But you're only looking at a minor performance penalty for running it through PHP. (Like maybe 5%) So unless your running some sort of millions of hits a minute site, it's probably better to just keep it simple and do a readfile() or fread() loop. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
