Ok... we might have descriptive names wrong here. :)

Lets scrap the word 'Calendar Server' then.

I would think the PIM database as the PIM Server, the PIM Data Proxy
as the PIM client.

Korganizer could facilitate IPC to work with a Korganizer plugin for Ksync.
Effectively, Korganizer itself uses the PIM Data Proxy libraries to
minipulate the database.

The calendar is resolved in Ksync.

Again:

2. Have syncronization with the data proxy happen in Korganizer
   - Ksync uses IPC to retrieve/set information in Korganizer
   - The is a Korganizer IPC PLUGIN for Ksync
   - When IPC calls are received in Korganizer, data can be updated
     real-time in the display.
   - Korganizer itself will communicate with the data proxy.
 
   Data Flow for option #2:
        DATA PROXY              <-->    KORGANIZER
        
        KORGANIZER PLUGIN       <-->    KSYNC
        KSYNC                   <-->    PALM PLUGIN

Industrial strength? Hmmm... I think you are interpeting the word
Calendar Server as a group point for scheduling data.  I see.

Let just forget the word and keep with 'dbase'. :)
