Remote worker module?

[Steve Cochran]

(Sorry if these questions are already covered somewhere.  I'm a newbie, 
and all of my searching didn't turn anything up.)

I'm working on an integration with Hobbit for a client.  They are using 
version 4.2.0.  I need to be able to process incoming data on a server 
that is remote to the Hobbit server.  I read in the hobbitd_channel man 
page that you can locate worker modules remotely by using the --net 
argument.  Something like:

  bin/hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/remote_data.log 
--net 10.10.4.67:12345

should (I believe) send "data" messages to host 10.10.4.67 on port 
12345.  However when I try this, I just get error messages in my log saying:

 Our child has failed and will not talk to us: Channel data, PID 3251, 
cause Bad file descriptor

(My remote client is, for now, just a netcat listener on the port.  I 
can telnet to it, so I know that it's there and listening.)

So my questions are:

  1)  Does this remote capability exist in version 4.2?
  2)  Are there any special requirements of the client such that a 
generic listener (like netcat) would provoke this error message?
  3)  Is there a sample (or real) worker module I could look at, that is 
capable of being remoted in this way?   Or what's the remote equivalent 
of  the get_hobbitd_message() function call?

any insight or examples would be appreciated.

thanks,
steve
