Q: 

How to forward to a servlet in a different server?

Possible Duplicate:
RequestDispatcher for remote server?

I have a servlet which does some processing. Based on some request parameters, I would need to forward the request to another servlet in a different server for additional processing and then return to the initial servlet.

What's the best way to do this?

I've read that one cannot forward a request to another domain/context. So I'm currently exploring to just recreate the actual request via HttpClient. Is this a good approach?
