I do this for transferring from primary to secondary, for natural carbing without sugar, and for draining sanke kegs of beer :p

I thought someone would like to see it in action. I saw someone ask if that would work. It does. I am sure others have been doing this for a long time too.

done it a few times myself, the last one was a company barbeque where they brought in a few kegs of local microbrew but not all of it was consumed... rather then return partially-full kegs, i ran home and grabbed 4 cornies and a box of fittings and jumper lines and emptied the sankey kegs into my cornies :) free beer for a month :)

i put together a gas ball-lock with an adjustable pressure relief valve and gauge set to 15psi, it goes on the last keg in the line. turn up the gas pressure until it vents, that minimizes foaming and allows a pretty fast transfer.
 
Yes! the adjustable pressure relief valve is the ultimate way to ferment in the corney too.
(natural carbonation...)
I haven't gotten around to putting that gimmick togetehr and I always end up manually releasing and in the case of chaining having the last one open to atmosphere. (which foams a you are quite right.
