From the description above it sounds like what you want is not a
jabber system, but an http system -- http servers don't have to serve
webpages, they can serve whatever data you want them to.

Do the clients connecting to the main server ever interact with each
other? Or does the server just handle each request independantly?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for using Jabber technologies, but use the
right tool for the right job.
