Client Control of Server Process

How do I control a real world output via the client process? I have a Lookout Server V6.2. The server process has a switch with the following configuration (Position Source = Remote: “..\PLC.Y1”) which controls a real world PLC output.  I put a switch in the Client process and set the Position Source to reference the server process switch. This allows the Client switch to change when the server switch is changed. However, I need the Client switch to control the Server switch. In the end I would like to be able to control the switch from either the Server or the Client. It does not necessarily have to be a switch as long as I can control the Real World output from either the client or server. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

In client process, the source should be like "..\Switch1.value", not just "..\Switch1"
