Remoting custom objects

Question

It is easy to remote an object if it is not yet created via RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType. How can I make a client use an object if it is already created on the server via the new operator because I don't want another one to be created when the client calls it.

I know that I have to use a singleton. I'll try to describe it a little differently: I already have an object created using the new operator on the server and I want that object to be remoted. However if I call Activator.GetObject on the client side it will create another singleton which is contradictory (two singletons) but it's true unfortunately.

there are two types of remote objects (from what I remember) a Single ton type that is created once and one that is created each time you call the method called SingleCall). You want the Singleton type.
