Ok, I just downloaded and installed Moray, and this is the type of behavior
I'm looking for.
Moray has some type of communications DLL.  Perhaps this is no longer the
right group for this thread, but who would I ask about communicating with
POV-Ray directly, rather than simply using Java exec() calls so send
Render's to POV?

I plan on releasing this Java based POV distrubuted render code once I get
it in a user friendly state, the only detail I have left is how to get the
finished renders back to the client that requested them.
