Is there a fault-tolerant way to include Filemaker data on webpages? The ways i've seen have required that a filemaker database actually be open and running its web-publishing. Is there a way to interface directly with the Filemaker server right to the webserver without the Filemaker app middleman? It seems like needless complexity to me. Is there some way to do this as a daemon-thing that starts with the system regardless of login?

Move the database to MySQL and write your apps in PHP. Sorry if that is not what you had in mind... but that is what I use so I tend to hit all nails with the MySQL/PHP/Apache hammer.

I wish there was some way to do this, but right now you have to have a FileMaker application running the database.

Not sure I understand your question... you first ask for a fault-tolerant way then you reject the "Filemaker app middleman" as "needless complexity". But almost all "fault-tolerant" mechanisms in the software world involve a "middleman" software that "adds complexity", but that complexity is certainly not "needless" as its required to give that very reliability that you are asking for.
FileMaker has provided a solution for making FileMaker data available on web pages. Do you have a specific problem with that mechanism? Does it not solve your problem in some way? Or are you just trying to avoid the expense of using it?
With a better statement of your problem, perhaps you will get better answers...
