You can call modules remotely, but how that works isn't really up to CF. For example, you can call a DCOM object on a remote server, if it's been registered on your machine. I imagine that CORBA provides similar functionality. With DCOM, at least, CF has no control over how the object is invoked, really - networking, permissions, and so on are all handled by the operating system.
