If you use Jabber then both the client and server would make
'outgoing' connections to some server - assuming the server is outside
of course.  You could make both the client and the server use the same
jid, and just have them login as two seperate resources (eg:
jid at host/client and jid at host/server)

Iris should work fine - I've dug around it in because of Psi.  I
haven't seen/used gloox - but it would probably work fine too.

You might want to look at using JEP-0009 [1] for passing messages back
and forth, but otherwise you could use iq's with a custom namespace.
