DiamondBack Data Services over .Net Remoting

Very good article, but it left me wondering. Can the RemoteServer handle requests from multiple RemoteConnection clients or does each RemoteConnection create its own RemoteServer instance? There seems to be a threading question in the first case, or a scalability question in the second case!Would the DataHub/DataSync work across web services or is this just for .Net remoting? Is this Borland's answer to Rem Objects?Just after Figure 7 in the article, there are 2 DataTables that the DataGrid could be connected to. What created these? Does setting the Dataset property of the DataHub call the Fill method on each DataAdapter to load the Dataset?When working in 3 tier mode, does the DataSync create a local Dataset on the middle tier? What does DataSync inherit from?I love the idea of being able to say dataHub.applyChanges. But the real problem with .Net data providers is having to do everything at database table level. It's not usual to read data a table at a time and present it that way to users: you need to read joined data from the database, and apply user changes to joined data back onto the database. It would be very good if the DataSync mapped Dataset tables built with SQL joins onto multiple DataAdapters to be written back to multiple tables in the database.
