Why not just install the Visio viewer on the other servers? Or do they need
to modify the files? If you instruct users to open visio first then it
should also open the clicked on file I believe.
The viewer is at
http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?familyid=D88E4542-B174-4198-AE31-6884E9EDD524&displaylang=en

You may have to play around with content redirection a bit.
