sql server replication : Replication and use of Remote Server

When Replication is configured it creates a remote server connection. Can it
be configured to use Linked Server instead? Linked server seems to have all
the same capability as Remote Server (and more).

In this same server, we have a separate true need for a linked server
pointing back to the same master server. I cannot create a linked server with
the same name as a remote server. Therefore if I can change the remote server
for rep to a linked server instead, I have solved both problems. I am on
Win2000. So are you saying that I cannot make this change to Linked Server in
Win2000?

In SQL 2005 they are all linked servers. IIRC it can, you have to give it
the name of distr_admin. Drill down in remote servers to determine what the
name should be.

Why do you want to do this?
