Determine if the original path of an alias is local or remote [on hold]

I have a folder full of thousands of aliases and need to isolate the ones referencing a remote path. I can iterate all of the files over a terminal command with Automator but can't find the right command to find the original path of an alias.
I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks.
