Is it possible to do a multisite hit counter that runs on a PHP enabled server but is accessed by non PHP servers?

Sure, here's how I do it :
In my non-php-enabled server I use some javascript code, like the 
following before the end of the document body:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--

ref = ""+escape(document.referrer);
stringa="<img src=\"http://php_enabled_server.com/jscount.php3?
cfgSite=sitename&section=section&REFER="+ref+"\" border=0  width=0 
height=0 >";

document.write(stringa);
// -->


This javascript code inserts an image in your page (but with null width 
and heigth so it will not be visible)
You can add all the information you need to take into account in the 
javascript string. On my php server I have a file called jscount.php3 
that increments the counter and then sends a transparent gif back to 
the browser using readfile().
