What sort of network are you running?  I use 100mbit for my remote
frontends, and I can't even tell that the backend isn't local.
Also on the "piggyback" idea, I believe it may be more trouble than it's
worth.
As for "remote-through-walls", lirc does do network connections.  So you
can have a reciever(with remote) on one PC, and then have the lircd
daedmon running on the backend as well, to do stuff.
