Applet network workaround?

I am trying to create a sControl that will post data to another on-demand service.  The problem that I am running into is that applets have the security Restriction of not making network connections except to the host that it came from.  The workaround suggested by Sun is to have the applet communicate with a server that is running on the host.  Is this viable?  Any suggestions?

Thx

In theory, you should be able to sign the applet and assert the permission you need to open arbitrary network connections. In pratice I haven't been able to work this out, although I haven't spent much time with it.
