Glenn, If you are posting to an external URL im not sure there is a good case for using bind(...) as that binds served HTML with a server side function to be executed upon form submission. If you want to post directly to another URL that is not managed by lift, there is little point executing something on the lift side of things right?
Alterntivly, if you want the post to the 3rd part to be transparent, you could do a programatic POST using Apache HTTP lib or something so that its transparent to the user. Is this the functionality you desire?
