[slinkelist] Multi-room controls

I've been using Slink-e/CDJ for a while now, but in a rather simple way.
I've had in my office one PC running CDJ, natively controlling a pair of
Sony changers in the living room, with a long Cat-5 run from the PC to the
Slink-e and a long speaker connection from the amplifier in the living room
to satellite speakers in the office.  I did most of my listening in the
office, so having the primary CDJ control there was convenient enough.

I've now acquired a home theatre setup with gorgeous audio in the living
room.  I still intend to do a fair amount of listening in the office, but
now quite a bit more in the living room.  I now want to control the Sony
players through CDJ (or perhaps PartyGUI) in both the office and the living
room.

I have a few thoughts on how I might do this, but before I bias the feedback
I'd rather first ask for suggestions from people who have already done
something similar.  To focus the suggestions, I'm prepared if necessary to
put another PC in the living room and LAN connection between the living room
and office.

Ideas, anyone?

Thanks,
Ron
