Don't know if its too late to comment, but the usual suggestion would
be to use something like RPCs for light simple and stupid, or CORBA
for a graded level of complexity. I've used both, and these days I
mostly use ACE+TAO CORBA which tends to make executables of about 28K
in size. If you are using them without a naming service, then two of
these is all you need.

I started out doing the RPC thing because I didn't want to do the
network programming thing and was happy to hand off the management of
the code to an IDL. After not too long tho, it became apparent that
the RPC system was somewhat less than useful in the general case, so I
started looking at other systems. After a lot of kicking and
screaming, CORBA looks like the long term winner for my needs.
