By "the log4net server" I assume you mean the RemoteLoggingServer plugin. This one uses .NET remoting and accepts an array of LoggingEvent object serialized the way .NET remoting does - i.e. using binary serialization. > If I create a slightly modified "server", can XmlLayout or some othere > class take the XML produced by XmlLayout and turn it back into the log > event object? The "turn it back" will be tricky, there is no built-in support for this and you'd have to code it yourself. This is in addition to writing the "slightly modified" plugin and a new appender that looked similar to the RemotingAppender. Stefan
