This isn't a complete answer, but a possible approach: I'd use a named pipe
on the destination host. Here's a little experiment to demonstrate.
[user@dhost temp]$ mkfifo pipe
[user@dhost temp]$ while true ; do ` < pipe` ; done
Now, in another xterm:
[user@dhost temp]$ echo date > pipe
[user@dhost temp]$ echo 'ls -l' > pipe
You can 'echo' commands to the pipe in multiple windows; the while loop
will only read and execute one command at a time off the pipe. You can see
where this is going - now your multiple servers just ssh those echo
commands to the destination host and the corresponding commands are
executed.
I'll leave it to you to make it suitably robust if you go this way; you'll
need to add some error handling, possibly signal handling, etc. but that's
just standard shell scripting.
Best,
