Bedankt ;o)

I'll have to do something similar I guess...

The other issue I am having is that, ideally, I would be able to connect to
two different servers remoting the same object type, at the same time...

My app supports SOAP over TCP and SOAP over HTTP and binary RPC, all at the
same time, etc.
