This topic has been discussed million times before, but let me clarify my needs:
I need a single server which controls a system and includes the necessary functions. Furthermore, there will be “n” Clients which represents only the HI/GUI and call server side functions. The server itself should be able to send data back to the clients and call client-side functions too (like shutdown, exit and so on…)

I have heard about duplex services/contracts (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731064.aspx), but I’m not sure how far I’ll come with that.
How would you handle this?

    I recently made a proof of concept app that made both the server and the client host a WCF service each. The client connects to the server and then in a handshake call, gives the server the connection information to allow the server create a separate connection back to the client. It worked a treat with multiple clients on network links from local lan to 64k line on remote sites at the same time.
