[Twisted-Python] PB - Dual Use Objects?

I'm curious, for those who use PB for their projects, do they make their
objects at each end of the wire dual use (meaning, both objects run a PB
Server and PB Client Factory such that each object can remotely call the
other), or do most people stick to a typical client-server model wherby the
PB Server Factory object just waits for requests from the Client and does
not attempt to initiate any messages to the client?
I ask because as a newbie to Twisted, I also started reading the
twisted.flow HowTo and it looks like there are some really interesting
things that could be done with PB. I have an app in mind whereby a PB Client
(A) triggers a PB Server, and then the PB Server expects incoming data from
another PB Client (B) but the data that comes in from B is useful to pass
back to A (all in a deferred manner however). Therefore the PB Server acts
as an intermediary. But this could get really hairy if I turned the PB
Server into a server handling multiple requests from PB Clients of type A
and PB Clients of type B (could look like a spaghetti bowl f the Server is
required to route data from the Bs to the As) so maybe better to stick with
a typical client-server model.
