I think this can be achieved with a Java applet. So maybe when JTor is
finished. A relay could host a web server, and have the Java applet on it.
The applet would need to be signed, and could be further verified by a
checksum, which could be done automatically by Torbutton. The server would
act as the entry point for all of your circuits. Since the JVM is running on
your machine, the entry point would not see the destination. Imagine if
there was a list of relays implementing this method, and you could possibly
choose one by location.

I think this would be solved because data going from the client to the proxy
server would be the same as normal traffic between client and entry node.
Although it would probably bring up all sorts of adversarial issues. I am
interested if anyone sees a major flaw in this design.
