In other words, what you're talking about is a "blender server", do I 
understanding you correctly?
Blender has to "listen" for other progs for requests for "blender 
services" (like some
blender-python script).
On the implementation level (don't we all love implementing stuff??), I 
think a cheap
straightforward way to achieve this is to somehow bring apache into the 
dance, and let apache
take care of all request-related stuff. Perhaps use apache's mod-python 
to code your server
logic in your favorite language ;)

Well, there are other ways at getting similar results, of course.
