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.

I'm writing my own custom controller that does not use an NSArray for it's backing (it uses a remote array of objects). I'm basically trying to mimic an NSArrayController and am trying to figure out how to implement the the selection observing of a table view that NSArrayController does.

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?
