library access to rsync protocol

Dave, Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, rsh is not an option, thus my desire for --execute. Rsh is not allowed through my firewalls into the dmz's where many of my targets live. A dist daemon in the dmz, reachable by internal distribution hubs only, is acceptable. If rsync can not hand
