Is it possible to deploy Sharepoint.dll to a server not running MOSS 2007

I have a web service app - that I need to connect to a MOSS server.

for example:

 using (SPSite site = new SPSite(this.SiteAddress ))
            {
                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

MOSS is not running on the same server as this web service app. Should this be a problem trying to use the object model. Or do I really have to go the web service route?

As far as I know you need SharePoint installed to use the object model (you may be able to fudge it, but I wouldn't fancy your chances :-)). You options are to either use the built in SharePoint webservices, expose your own "friendly" service and consume it from your other server or move your webservice to the Sharepoint box.

At the very minimum you will need to deploy Microsoft.SharePoint.dll to the machine hosting the web service. If it does require MOSS classes (the one's you've listed only require WSS) then you will also need to deploy the MOSS assembly (I believe it's Microsoft.Office.Server.dll). After that, it's going to become a deploy and pray situation in my experience :)
