This sounds very much like a message queue with multiple concurrent
readers and  writers. See also "Enterprise Service Bus". Okay there
appear to be other bits like discovery and so forth, but unless you have
a compelling reason to use Jini (like you want to support Java services)
then it could be made in Perl I guess.
