I'm not a Zope expert, but to me it sounds like you want to solve a 
problem with Zope, which it is not intended for. If you want to 
implement complex distributed scenarios use SOAP, XML-RPC, CORBA, DCOM, 
... or whatever suits your needs.
Then you could still implement a thin Zope utility, which wraps access 
to such an service, to allow easy access from within a Zope application.
