Then you can ask the server1 from other server like this:
Of course now normal finger will not work.
I'm not sure is there any security issue with that solution. But if your network is secure, then it works fine.
Above example is for Solaris10.
On Solaris 9 you can just edit /etc/inetd.conf.

finger.conf
FINGER.CONF(5) BSD File Formats Manual FINGER.CONF(5)NAME
finger.conf --finger(1) alias configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The optional finger.conf file is used to provide aliases that can be fingered by local and network users. This may be useful where a user's
login name is not the same as their preferred mail address, or for providing virtual login names than can be fingered.
Lines beginning with ``#'' are comments. Other lines must consist of an alias name and a target name separated by a colon. A target name
should be either a user, a forward reference to another alias or the path of a world readable file.
Where an alias points to a file, the contents of that file will be displayed when the alias is fingered.
