Running a DLL in a separate address space (if possible at all, I think the  
concept of DLLs contradicts this idea) would not be much different than  
running the DLL as a separate process. Communication could then occur  
through pipes, sockets, or shared memory + signals/events/mutexes.

You may have noticed that some web browsers (Chrome, and now Firefox) run  
3rd-party plugins in separate processes, for this purpose (stability) plus  
security (plugins are sandboxed).
