||unity-dev|| Client on server to host scripts

[unity-dev@moock.org]

Hi,
My department is looking into solutions for synchronous multi-user
physics simulations. I wonder if anyone has used the strategy I'm
thinking of in Unity.
I want to have some physics code running on the server and have the
clients have access to the data. Rather than creating a service in Java,
could I run a Flash client on the server to run the physics model in
ActionScript? I know Java would run faster, but I'm more interested in
rapid prototyping than performance for now.
Thanks,
