.NET Remoting Client Config File multiserver Object

Question

I'm in the middle of a crisis.

How can i register a object in configuration file multiple times?

Its simple i have server1, server2 and server3 that have the object (SomeObject) and i would like to do something like this on Clients configuration file:

<client>
    <wellknown type="IRemCalc.ICalc, IRemCalc"
            url="http://localhost:12234/RemoteCalc1.soap" />
    <wellknown type="IRemCalc.ICalc, IRemCalc"
    url="http://localhost:1234/RemoteCalc1.soap"/&gt;
</client>

But it throws me an exception saying that i cant register the same object twice, any solutions?

This is for a school work and I'm dying here.

Remoting is obsolete now, and I haven't used it for many years. Still, if I remember correctly, you in fact cannot register the same type multiple times.

Registering a type makes sure that when you use "new type()" in your code, it will create a remoting proxy instead of the actual type. That proxy will naturally address a single remote server.

If you need to use multiple servers, then you'll have to "manually" create proxy instances. As I said, I haven't used Remoting since about 2004, so I don't remember the API for manually creating a proxy.
