A while back I made a claim on NTSecurity that there was a product that would proxy applets. In assence run them in a box outside the firewall while displaying them in the browers inside. Bill Stout called me on it. I went looking through my papers and could not find the reference... until now. One company with such a product is Digitivy (http://www.digitivity.com). Their product, CAGE, does exactly this. I would not be surprised to see firewall vendors incorporate the technology and new features such as ActiveX proxing. BTW, this is also good for the end user. For example if you could not use before an applet that needed to make a database connection to a remote server because your firewall did not allow connections on a certain port now you could run the same applets without problems.
