By "remote array", I mean database that is not on the local machine.
I'm basically trying to create bindings support for a MySQL array.
What you've suggested is actually what I'm doing now. The problem is
that when I bind a table view to the array controller, the array
controller goes through and queries every row in the table for it's
values, which really slows down the program unnecessarily. I
understand the NSArrayController is probably doing this for sorting
and so on, but given that I can control that in the SQL query, I
really don't need NSArrayController doing those sort of things for
me. My classes are designed to only pull values from rows when they
are needed to be displayed.

It's not clear what you mean by "remote array".
Can you not simply use an ordinary NSArrayController and in
whatever object it is that manages the "remote array" implement
suitable indexed accessor methods to "simulate" the array?
