assemblies location

Hi all,

I'm new to .NET and our company is moving to it now.
I have a question regarding the use of assemblies.

As I read from MSDN, assemblies need to be in the IIS application's bin folder, and so the execution will also be within this machine.

Is it possible for me to, say, have the \bin being a virtual directory, pointing to another machine solely for hosting and executing assemblies? Or it must be executed within the IIS machine hosting the web?

If it is, any other method for me to delagate the execution of assemblies to another machine? Have another machine running IIS & assemblies? xml web services?

Please help & advise, thx!!!!
