Hi,

Suppose we have a firewall with proxies only and which let no IP traffic
through. 
What alternatives should be considerred to make applets running inside
to be able to connect to their respective servlet (if any) on the host
they come from (outside the FW, of course) ? (let's assume the applets
are authentified thank's to some signature mechanism).

Are there specialized JAVA libraries aware of some tcp relay to contact
if the destination IP address is outside the local domain/firewall ?
Is there a well known port reserved for that ?

Any other alternative ?

Many thank's in advance for your replies and best regards !

Thierry A.
