Yup, same as using from Flex's RemoteObject or a web service.

Yup.
This sort of tiered approach is used a lot.
I'm going to say "ColdSpring's RemoteFactoryBean" again, then berate myself

You could have a remote CFC that returned a key when given a username password 
returns key and adds the key and the time a data store.
The other remote CFCs can check to see if the key is in the data store and 
issued recently before updating the time for the key and invoking the real 
CFC.
