Interprocess Communication: I need a mix of Remoting and Webservice

The problem:
I'm writting some software to manage a building.
All the devices (mostly doors and cameras) run a light version of Linux,
with mono inside
And we've got bigger Linux server (with mono inside).

The server need to talk to individual devices (door/camera).
Ideally I like to use remoting and have my device application listening to
one port.
But there are versioning issue with remoting (i.e. when the server class are
recompiled, all the client should be redeployed), hence I would like to use
something loosely coupled, like web services, but I could run directly from
my application without having to run IIS/Apache+mod_mono like remoting.

any clue?!

Try MsgConnect ( http://www.eldos.com/msgconnect/ ), it can be used as an
alternative for both.

quite well.

It sounds to me like WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) is exactly what
you're looking for. check out:

Yes, it does, however I'm not sure it is supported on mono yet (as most of
our hardware run on linux :-( )
But there are 2 of us windows minded, we will prevail, in some distant
future....

Anyway, I found that by using Remoting and the XML-RPC formatter, I was able
to achieve what I wanted.
Come to think about it, I wonder if I could use a version tolerant binary
formatter.. mmhh...
