How do I specify what channel Activator.GetObject uses?

I'm using .Net Remoting. I have 2 servers - one listens for a soap object, the other listens for a binary object:

server1 (soap):

    HttpChannel = new HttpChannel(1234);
    ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(chnl);
    RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(
            typeof(Server1Object),
            "server1.soap",
            WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall);

server2 (binary):

    IDictionary props = new Hashtable();
    props["name"] = "MyHttpChannel";
    props["port"] = 2345;
    BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider srv = new BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider();
    HttpChannel channel = new HttpChannel(props,null,srv);
    ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel);
    RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(
            typeof(Server2Object),
            "server2.rem",
            WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall);

On my client I want to call each server. I first register the channels:

    HttpChannel soapChannel = new HttpChannel();
    ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(soapChannel, false);

    BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider clnt = new BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider();
    HttpChannel binaryChannel = new HttpChannel(null, clnt, null);
    ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(binaryChannel);

I get the object from server1:

    var server1 = Activator.GetObject(typeof(IServer1Object), "http://server1:1234/Server1.soap");

I get the object from server2:

    var server2 = Activator.GetObject(typeof(IServer2Object), "http://server2:2345/Server2.rem");

How should I tell it to use the soapChannel (ie soap formatting) for the first object, and binaryChannel (ie binary formatting) for the second?
