See, that's what I can't work out. Let's say you have this in your dialplan.
exten => _X.,1,AGI(agi://server.gumby.com)
Control at this point is passed to the server. That server has no relationship
with the Asterisk process. It doesn't even have access to the STDOUT and STDERR
streams tied to Asterisk. If you send anything to STDOUT from the server (ie
set a channel variable), it's just going to go to STDOUT of the server process,
which is probably the terminal it's running on. And what happens if the server
process is on a different host?
It seems like you can't return variable from Fast AGI or interact with the dial
plan in any way, by setting or getting dial plan variables. I must be missing
something here.

With fastAGI You have a TCP connection between the Asterisk box and the
fastAGI server so You have to send Your commands on that connection.
There are "get variable" and "set variable" commands among many others.
