.NET Remoting object unavailable in in-process dll

[Jean-Pierre Fouche]

I have a server app which hosts a remote object, published via http.
The app works fine as a self-standing .exe.

However, when I host the same code as a library .dll, the object is
unavailable to clients. I can verify that the object is indeed
published on http://localhost:8080/object1uri by viewing the location in
my browser.

However, the client reports an error : Requested service not found
(Remoting Exception)

Any issues around accessibility in in-process .dll's?

Output from browser is as follows
