xml web services vs .net remoting

[Joe]

Question
1.) Since xml web service interface can be obtained directly by wsdl, but
..net remoting need to have the dll (interface) and then take reference to the
solution, right?
2.) remoting need to be the same intranet?

Yes, with .NET Remoting you need to have the interface of the remoted
objects in a DLL referenced by both the server and client applications.
There are other ways to access a remote object through .NET Remoting
without this shared DLL, but having never experienced them, i couldn't tell
you how they work.

Not at all. We at the moment have an application with the server hosted on
our LAN and the client applications a bit everywhere on the Internet. It
works just fine (although if you want to do that, you should probably have
a look at Genuine Channels to avoid the firewall/proxy problems when making
callbacks from the server to the client: www.genuinechannels.com).
