I'm in the dark as to what c-cgi exactly is and thus how you connect to the
MySql in the first place, but nevertheless I assume you must be establishing
the database connection first hand in your script. This being the case, you
should be able to apply a different hostname than 'localhost' in your
connection script.

Remember to verify that the grant privileges reflect the client not being on
localhost.
