  since the Lisp system is likely to maintain useful state information and
  would need to load this every time, I think a better solution would be to
  set up the Lisp system to accept connections on a socket bound to a port
  only on the local machine (127.0.0.1), require the caller to send the
  contents of some file that only approved users can read for simple
  authentication purposes, and go into a simple read-eval-print loop.

  this would give you the benefit of fast loading (the client program can
  easily be written in C), and evaluation inside a large Lisp system tha
  can service a number of users and requests.
