Build Root Path value

Build Root Path value
In links.cfg I have the following:

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/ps/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://moweb/ps/links/pages";

The location I want the pages built in is
"http://moweb/ps/links/pages".
What should I put for the build_root_path ?

$build_root_path = "D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/ps/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://moweb/ps/links/pages";

This works OK.

The site is behind a firewall on corporate intranet.
