Okay, I found it in the API docs, there are a few functions, I'll just
list a few:


remote_foreign_call(server, module, function, [arg]*) (Versions 0.82 and above)
	Calls a function in some module on another server
	and returns the results. You must already have called
	remote_foreign_require for the same server and module before
	trying to use this function. The function parameter is the
	name of a function to call in the remote module, and the
	parameters after function are arguments that will be passed
	to it. For example : &remote_foreign_require("www.blah.com",
	"apache", "apache-lib.pl"); @servers
	= &remote_foreign_call("www.blah.com", "apache",
	"get_config"); As the example shows, the remote_foreign_call
	function returns whatever is returned by the function on
	the remote server.
