    what exactly are you trying to achieve worzel?

    If you want two servers with different components on each then that is possible, if you want to get into the realm of web server farms then you may need to implement a hardware solution such as a router that takes care of all your object calls transparently...

    The drawbacks of inter-server component communication: The network speed and reliability is always your weakest link RPC calls are notorious for failing (thats not to say that DCOM isn't stable)....

    There are many ways to skin this cat.......

    what i was looking into is scalibilty. So if for example you have got 5000 users I want to balance the load over several machines.

    ok, I get what you mean, Ted Pattison discusses this in his book:

    Programming Distributed Applications with COM+ and Visual Basic 6.0

    If you need that sort of info it's good....
